A "perfect marriage" for Blue Jackets, Monsters

CLEVELAND – On a day when the words “it makes sense” were used at least a dozen times, one obvious question was asked by Cavaliers CEO Len Komoroski’s son.

“Dad…what took so long?”

It’s a fair question, young man, but one that isn’t answered easily.

The Blue Jackets and Lake Erie Monsters formally announced their new multi-year affiliation agreement at a press conference today at Quicken Loans Arena in what was a celebration of not just a new partnership, but also a “perfect marriage” between two franchises dedicated to continually growing the game of hockey in the state of Ohio.
