Tom Stillman has already seen the Peoria Rivermen play.
The new owner of the St. Louis Blues and Rivermen came to Peoria on a visit while serving as minority owner of the Blues. Checking out the front office? Evaluating Carver Arena? A covert secret mission?
“Actually, I just wanted to watch a game, so I came up to Peoria during the season,” Stillman said. “I love hockey. I’d travel anywhere to see it.”
That puts him one-up on SCP Worldwide CEO Dave Checketts, who exited this week from his group’s four-year ownership of the Rivermen without ever having set foot in Peoria.
The Blues and their fans got the passionate, local ownership they deserved when Stillman finalized a deal to buy the NHL team this week.
Hopefully, the Peoria Rivermen got some of the same.
Also, THIS.
He is my single most favorite person at the Rivermen games.
