AHL extends president's contract

Hockey Betting Lines

07/09/2010 - Springfield, MA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - American Hockey League president David Andrews has agreed to terms on a contract extension that will keep him in his position through June, 2015.

"All of us with an interest in the American Hockey League -- our owners, our management, our fans, our partners and more -- are extremely fortunate to have had the benefit of Dave Andrews' leadership over the last 16 years as President and CEO," said Rick Pych, governor of the AHL's San Antonio Rampage. "During his tenure, the AHL has become a critical step on the career path for virtually every young player en route to the NHL. We are all thrilled that Dave will continue to lead us through the exciting years that lie ahead."

Andrews, who began his presidency in 1994, has been instrumental in bringing all 30 NHL teams' top developmental affiliates under the AHL umbrella. In 2001, he led one of the largest expansion efforts ever in professional sports, bringing nine new cities into the fold, including six from the former International Hockey League.

The enterprise expanded the league beyond its traditional Atlantic seaboard borders to locations such as Chicago, Toronto, Cleveland, Houston, San Antonio, Winnipeg and Milwaukee. The league is scheduled to further expand in 2010-11 to Charlotte and Oklahoma City.

In addition, Andrews' leadership has spawned growth in television coverage and corporate sponsorship, including a multi-million-dollar, multi-year partnership with Reebok which remains the foundation for the AHL's marketing, licensing and on-ice branding strategies.

MySportsbook.com refunds all bets on Oakland, Green Bay and Tampa Bay from NFL week one.

(September 14) – Week one of NFL action saw three teams go scoreless for the first time since 1977.  Another four were unable to get a touchdown and almost half of the underdogs covered the spread. Those three teams saved bettors at MySportsbook.com from losing out completely, thanks to the company’s unique NFL Shutout Rule -- which ensures that if the team you backed goes scoreless, your wager is refunded.

Sportsbook refunded tens of thousands of dollars to customers who bet on Oakland, Green Bay and Tampa Bay, the three teams that stunk up the field so badly that their fans and backers never had a chance to get up from their couches and cheer.  In the spirit of the low scoring start to the season, odds makers at the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino have set odds on how many total shutouts there will be this season. 

MySportsbook.com has posted updated sports betting lines for week two of the season.  Ben Roethlisberger’s health status is still questionable, so Willie Parker will try to lead Pittsburgh again as they travel to Jacksonville as a one point favorite.  After beating up on his little brother last week, Peyton Manning will look to lead the Colts to victory against Houston. Indianapolis is a whopping 13.5 favorite in the match-up.

Seattle, last year’s highest scoring team, showed the power of their defense with their gritty 9-6 win in Motown over the ravenous Lions.  They take their act back home to the comforts of Qwest Field where they will face the resurgent Arizona Cardinals.  The Seahawks are favored by a touchdown.
