Johnstown, Pa --

After two years without hockey and months of speculation, the city of Johnstown appears to be getting a full-time team back at the Cambria County War Memorial Arena.

6 News confirmed through Alaska Avalanche owner Mark Lee that he sold his team to a Johnstown-based group and will begin play at the War Memorial Arena next season.

We’ve been told a press conference will be held next week to discuss, among other things, the team’s name.

6 News has learned the majority owner of the team is ESMARK.

Bill Keegan, Director of Marketing Communications, told us there have been some premature comments but confirmed that ESMARK is a majority owner.
