The owner of the Espanola Rivermen has been suspended indefinitely by the commissioner of the Northern Ontario Junior Hockey League. The Elliot Lake Bobcats are moving to Cochrane next year and Tim Clayden says there’ no way he’s taking his Rivermen that far north. Clayden says it’s because the extra $50,000 expense to cover more travel, meals and accommodations is considerable and he can’t come up with the extra cash.
