Mark Cheyne is still the steady hand at the helm of the West Kelowna Warriors.

But from here on in, Cheyne won91裸聊视频檛 be alone in navigating the choppy waters of owning the BCHL team.

With the prospects of the Warriors leaving West Kelowna next season, a group of local investors stepped up late last month to help Cheyne

Ideally, Cheyne would have liked to sell the team outright to local interests, but is happy with what turned out to be the next best scenario.

91裸聊视频淚 appreciate these guys stepping up,91裸聊视频 said Cheyne, who has suffered significant financial losses every year since taking over sole ownership in 2009. 91裸聊视频淭he idea is to have someone else coming to the table to help with the day-to-day operations of the club, helping with things like corporate sponsorships, trying to balance the books.

91裸聊视频淗opefully it91裸聊视频檒l be a significantly better arrangement, we91裸聊视频檒l have a different business model,91裸聊视频 he added, 91裸聊视频渁nd we91裸聊视频檒l have more help generating revenue and spreading out the costs of running the team.91裸聊视频

Cheyne will be joined by as many as six new shareholders/co-owners, all from the Central Okanagan and with varied backgrounds.

Cheyne said the precise percentages of ownership, including his own portion, have yet to be determined.

One key area Cheyne said the new group is promising to address is the Warriors91裸聊视频 season ticket base.

At just a little over 400 for the past season, Cheyne hopes an aggressive ticket drive this summer will push that number closer to 1,000.

In the end, Cheyne is happy to see the club back at Royal LePage Place for the start of the 2017-18 BCHL season.

91裸聊视频淭his was the easiest and best of the options I had and I think it91裸聊视频檚 good for the community that it stays here,91裸聊视频 he said. 91裸聊视频淚t91裸聊视频檚 nice for me to still be a part of it and see how we can make things work down the road.

In January, Cheyne had been looking at relocating the team to North Delta under new ownership, but the deal fell through.
