The Sea Dogs have a press conference scheduled for
Monday.  It is expected that the new affiliatin will
be announced then.

The Manchester rumor got played up in the Globe but
Weber never had a stadium or was even close to getting
a deal for a stadium.  

Why would there be a problem supporting both a hockey
and baseball team?  The seasons barely overlap.  The
only real competition I see is for corporate sponsors.
