First thoughts on the new Thunder owner
Brad Rowbotham is a hockey fan who now owns a team.
It’s a dream come true for him, and at first glance, a good move for the Thunder and its fans.
His enthusiasm is tempered with good business sense. He mentioned that he is a very competitive person, but understands the realities of minor league hockey and [...]

Cool Canadian customer
Brad Rowbotham was introduced as owner-in-waiting by the Thunder on Monday. The Canadian oil man won’t have to wait long, probably three to six weeks while the league and city approve the deal.
The 41-year-old replaces Michael Reinsdorf, who brought the team to Stockton in 2005. Reinsdorf’s biggest contribution to the franchise was being smart enough [...]

A glimpse of the Thunder’s world away from the ice
The Record is running a project on Sunday called “Thunder All Access,” which takes a behind-the-scenes look at how the team prepares for games, and what happens on the bench during the contest and in the locker room between periods.
The thing that struck me most about the players were how calm and serene they were [...]

A quick weather report
It was cloudy and in the high 30s in Okalhoma City, Okla. on Thursday.
I bring this up because the Edmonton Oilers, the Thunder’s NHL parent franchise, is planning to move its America Hockey League affiliation to Oklahoma City next season. And if it was there now, the Thunder would actually be getting the three players [...]
