News Flash: The long rumored sale of the Lowell Lock Monsters is a step closer to becoming reality. As reported on this blog back on February 8th, the deal is with the National Hockey League’s New Jersey Devils. Thursday’s edition of the Lowell Sun has details of the sale, which is still contingent on a number of factors, including the success of a campaign to sell 1,500 new season tickets.
Teddy’s Take: O.K. Merrimack Valley Sports fans…time to step up! So far, roughly 300 new season tickets have been sold. I’m not sure if any of my loyal readers are included in that list, but I want you guys and gals to strongly consider joining the effort.
A lot of you know each other, so even if you don’t think you can afford it by yourself, perhaps you can split an account with someone else. I also want those of you who own a business in the area to make the commitment. It’s not only good for your company, but for the entire region as well.
As part of the campaign, I pledge to buy 2-season tickets for my family business. I will also list the names of any person or business which purchases a season account, and I will also forward the names to the Lowell Sun, which has pledged to publish the names periodically.

Ted,
I’m headed to the Lock Monsters tonight with a dozen kids against the Baby B’s….The place should be buzzing with the news of the possible new owners…Who are probably in town since the B’s are playing NJ…. I hope all the needed chips fall into place for the Devils org to take over the LM’s….. Thanks for doing your part to support the team by buying seasons tickets…. My company as well is very involved in group tickets, Birthday Parties and promotional events with the LM’s , Spinners, Fisher Cats…etc….
Keep up the good work with the Blog…..
Christo

Lowell is lucky to have another opportunity to prove itself worthy of keeping a professional hockey franchise in town. The Lock Monsters serve as a positive perception as well as a another attraction to the city that helps the growing and developing local economy.
I plan on attending more games with the family to do my part and support them. Heck, I might even become a Devils fan if Jacobs doesn't sell the Bruins soon!
