As reported by Meg Linehan of Excelle Sports on Thursday evening, the National Women's Hockey League and Commissioner Dani Rylan are facing a lawsuit from one of the League's founding investors. Mike Moran, one of the League's three known investors, is requesting reimbursement for the $184,971.10 he contributed to the League.
According to Excelle,
The NWHL and Rylan have until April 22, 2016 at 5 PM Eastern to either pay Moran’s requested amount or receive a written grant of extension. If neither happens, Moran is expected to file a lawsuit against both the NWHL and Rylan personally by the following Monday for the entirety of his investment, which the letter states to be over $200,000.
