General Manager of the Zaza Dancers Resorts to Extreme Messures

It seems that life at the bottom may only be temporary for Alan McFadden, general manager of the Zaza Dancers. With his team starting to turn around slowly, and injuries beginning to plague his rivals, it's only a matter of time before the once massive gap is closed. Unfortunately, life at the bottom has taken its toll on the young general manager, and has driven him over the edge. The Flare Group News team has learned that Alan McFadden has put out a hit on Julien Bergeron, general manager of the first place Missanabie Bears. It is expected that the assassins that have been hired are none other than the Hockey Ninjas.

Little known in history are the events of the 1905 Missouri Hockey Massacres. The Missouri Globes were a rising hockey team, expected to become one of the greatest competitors in the world when it came to hockey. On a cold January evening, they faced a new, rising team, that to this day, nobody knows the name of. Money was short in Missouri at that time, so the unnamed team resorted to immigrant labour. The team was mainly comprised of Japanese immigrants, looking to make some money on the side of their already unfair labour duties. The Globes, becoming quite elitist in their ways, decided to take liberties with this team, playing overly aggressive, and starting many fights. Unfortunately, the Globes did not know that the immigrants were actually descendants of the last Ninja clan of Japan. The entire Globes team was slaughtered brutally, with not a single survivor remaining. The Ninjas then went into hiding, and became known as the Hockey Ninjas. This story has been omitted from most hockey histories due to the graphic nature that accompanies it.

If the rumours are true, then Julien Bergeron finds himself in a very dangerous situation. We attempted to find Bergeron in order to get his comment on these events, however, we found that he had gone into hiding... for a little while, anyways. After following a trail of Lays BBQ Potato Chip crumbs through the Missanabie Arena, we found a man we believed to be Bergeron hiding in one of the washroom stalls. He had this to say:

"I'm not... I mean, Julien Bergeron isn't in here. Go away!"

-Julien Bergeron, General Manager of the Missanabie Bears?

We attempted to contact the GM's of the other teams in the Flare Group, but only one decided to talk to us. That general manager was Devyn Gagnon of the Hamilton Tigers. Unfortunately, his comment did not relate to the events involving Zaza and Missanabie at all:

"No. No fricken' way! I'm tired of you asshats taking my words and twisting them around into something completely different! For God's sake, in your last report, you made up every single quote! Get the hell out! I'm not talking to you anymore!"

-Devyn Gagnon, General Manager of the Hamilton Tigers

Gagnon would then go on to say that he's a little princess that bakes cupcakes with his mother. However, this still doesn't change the fact that the Flare Group has risen to a new level of intensity. Zaza has played his cards, and is hoping that things work out, whereas Missanabie may be spending too much time watching his back to notice the important details that come with running a successful hockey team.
