A statement from new Crosby Buddy Doyle:
"Today's news came as a great shock to me. I truly believed that my stay with the Pirates would have been long and successful. Nonetheless, I am honored to be involved in a trade which include such great players as Mitch and Wahal. I am grateful to have been given the opportunity to get back to my roots-- the Crosby's. My respect for John George and his team is infinite; the Crosby's are among the league's finest and storied franchises-- a team that anyone would love to play for. Fortunately, as I stated earlier, this is my home. I am excited to begin my third stint with such a great captain and friend, and truly believe that I can help this team win its second FHL championship. On a final note, I wish Amac, Zig, Bono, Cleary, Pack and the boys, the best of luck. I want to thank Amac for giving me the opportunity to be a Pirate. I enjoyed my time there and look forward to seeing them late in the playoffs--where they belong. As the great Bill Seaman once said: "my blood might be red, but I bleed white". God bless the Crosby's, God bless the FHL, and God bless the United States of America."
