MLRH Issues

[Bluevisor19Work]

I have been reading alot of complaints about how poorly the league is run. I am a player for the Charlotte Outlawz. I also own a part of the team. when I bought in to this, Bill R. insisted we have insurance and told us it costs 1500. We paid and he mailed the policy to the place we play.

I got the policy and filed it away assuming I didnt have to look at it. The other day I looked at it and noticed different font in one section and what appeared to be whited out dates filled over with a typewriter. Needless to say, I was shocked.

So I call the Insurance company who issued the policy and they informed me that the policy has BEEN CANCELLED SINCE 2003. During either one of our home games, if someone was hurt, Myself and Street would have been FINISHED !! SO . . .

If we want to continue our season, I have to drain our bank account to get us a policy we paid Bill for. I also have to now Sew Bill and report him to The Insurance Comissioner of North Carolina. To top it all off, Im an Insuance agent and could have written my own policy for cheaper. Plus its a poor idea to mess with an Insurance Agent's Insurance policy.

I see the future of this league sinking like the Titanic. I love full contact, but I would rather play house league then put up with shady people trying to screw you for a buck. I was warned about Bill by an old friend, should have heeded his advice . . .

if this is infact true, the league should fold almost instantly... hopefully someone can look into this a little further, cause if someone gets seriously hurt, they are screwed!

i'm not slow, i'm patient

Each team is supposed to have their own policy on the facility they play in ( if sponsored by the facility, im sure they have it ). If anyone in the league has a policy Thru TIG Insurance purchased through the league, make sure your policy is active. My Fake policy was produced by K & K Insurance group in Fort Wayne ( 800-426-2289 ). The policy # is SSP3922195900 . If this is also your policy #, your in the same boat as us, and should find other insurance immediatley.

I think this season will have to be finished even if it is by the teams themselves and not the league. I know we personally have sponsorship obligations to keep. I hate to do all this to a league I was totally in to, but I refuse to stand by and watch as I go down in flames for his actions.

Whose that idiot with the Blue Visor ??? Oh yea, its me !!

Heres a suggestion, get the facts first before blasting Bill on an open forum. Call Bill if you have an issue. Granted there has been some issues with the league, but I can hardly blame Bill for everything. My team, The Boston Storm, was a contributing factor in the screw up this year. Our home rink was pulled from us do to someone telling lies to the owners about the league for his own benefit. Afraid of losing players. Anyway, had to get that off my chest, we had no rink to play out of. Now how is that Bills fault? The Gladiators, switched rinks mid-stream, how is that Bills fault? Guys have been jumping ship to play PIHA. How is that Bills fault? I will call Bill and ask him about the policy. For all you know, he could have sent you the wrong one by mistake. Get the facts, or don't play. You have a chose. I just don't understand people like you. If you're not part of the solution, then you're part of the problem.

I just got off the phone with Bill. Your story is bogus. If you have an issue with Bill or the MLRH, save the time of "draining your bank account" and pull your team. That is my suggestion. Bill has done alot of good for inline hockey. He has put alot of time and money into this league. Hey, here's an idea, start your own league and run it the way you want it run. Then come back on here and tell us all how easy it is.

Blah Blah Blah, Shoot the puck already

Why dont you tell Bill to call me then cause he wont return my e-mails or PM me or E-mail me his #, [email protected] . I am not trying to stirr up Sh!^, but you have to see how this looks from my end. I am spraking to bill right now and working thios out. I tired to have Street do this but now that you guys are pointing me in the right direction I will handle it myself



I know a fake policy and I have one from the MLRH.

Whose that idiot with the Blue Visor ??? Oh yea, its me !!

Now you are talking to Bill? You should have done that first. And Eric, with all do respect, I too am in the insurance business, re-insurance to be exact, and know the importance of policy procedure. To use the Storm again in an example, we had asked Bill to send us a mock policy, a copy of an expired policy from another team, just so we could have the rink owners read the language used in this type of policy. Fully understanding that the duplicate he was sending, was not the actual policy or to be represented as such. Perhaps this scenario mirrors your situation. I don't know. But wouldn't it be a shame for me to suggest that this is case here if I didn't have the facts first? See what I'm saying.

Ok I now spoke to Bill for myself and know whats going on. He sent us a policy using a company he has a relationship with. The company told him to fill in the policy as necessary and send it to them and us ( proof of insurance to us and to bind the coverage its sent to the insurer. )
Well the company he put us with is no longer in business. The policy came back to him 2 weeks ago ( aproximatley ). He said he has secured another policy for us and will be getting it faxed in to me before Monday so I can present it to our rink.
I want to thank you spider for letting me know that you called bill cause I was under the impression that he had changed his phone # and was unreachable by phone. I also didnt call him initally because he has a long standing relationship with Street and I figured I would let him handle it. He did a piss poor job to say the least ( Sorry street your still my homie but you suck at communication skills !! ). Street also idnt know that Bills # was on the MLRH site ( I knew this for a while now ).

Everything is everything and I didnt mean to ruffle any feathers and I am glad I was able to handle this today.

My question is, if he got the policy back 2 weeks ago, why didn't he contact YOU about this issue 2 weeks ago ?

Thanks Eric. Check out my PM.

He said he has been trying to contact Chris, and Bill didnt even know I owned part of the team til today. He had secured the policy for us whick is the important thing and I can understand him not getting with me because he didnt know I existed lol. So things are starting to wind down and I am glad I found this site cause you guys helped tremendously ( between the throwing stones at me, I got some useful information which is what I needed !! ).

I hate looking like a bad guy because I love playing in this league, but I needed to know that everything was on the up and up concerning our insurance. Now I have all of Bill's contact info and am not afraid to use it !! If I need to blast Bill ( which I doubt I will have to in the future ) I can call him at 2 am at the house LOL J/K.

wow... I missed a lot today! I'm staying away from everything on this topic, the only thing I'll say is that the only calls I received up until about an hour ago was from ortega and not bill. Either way, I've been in this league for 5 years now and it always seems to stay afloat. Most probs aren't Bill's fault and a lot can go wrong with so many people in the mix (owners, rinks, Bill, players, etc.) so its not an easy job by any means. We def dont want dirty laundry put out in the open from now on though.. that's for sure, the league has enough image problems as it is.

Street

ps- oh yeah, and I do suck at communication sometimes!! I have 100 things going on and cant always answer my phone or check email every 10 secs!!!!

[Bluevisor19Work]

Just so everyone knows, I love this league, and never want it to end ( not even off season, I wish we played all year ). I am sure Bill is a nice guy and now that the air is clearing, I hope to get to know everyone out here as well as Bill. I will do whatever is required of me to keep this machine running smooth and in the future I will go to the bossman rather then Street or airing it out here. I will keep issues to PM's and Phone calls.

As soon as I have the active policy in my hands I will let everyone know, and sorry again for creating Drama. I hate Drama I almost never start it, and usually do end it, so consider the Drama Over LOL

Ortega

PS- Street, whens the last time you scored a goal ? Oh yea like 2 months ago ! I will control the team you go out and find whoever took your game and get it back HAHAHAHAHAHA
