New Clippers owner plans to turn organization around in Nanaimo
NANAIMO — The Nanaimo Clippers have a new owner who vows to keep the team in the harbour city and invest money to strengthen the organization.
Vancouver-based lawyer Wesley Mussio, 53, was officially unveiled as the team’s new owner at a Friday, Nov. 10 news conference at Frank Crane Arena.
“In my respectful view, if you’re spending a lot of time on scouting your going to get a really good product on the ice,” he said.
Mussio sold the Junior B Delta Ice Hawks as a condition to buy the Clippers. He said he’s worked hard to build financial flexibility as a lawyer and publisher and will put the necessary resources in place to allow the Clippers to thrive on and off the ice.
