NEW owner
Lamar Hunt, Jr.
By Bill Althaus
Bill.althaus@examiner.net
Lamar Hunt Jr., is the new owner of
the Missouri Mavericks.
Hunt Jr., is the son of Lamar Hunt, the
late founder of the American Football
League and the man responsible for
bringing NFL football to Kansas City
back in 1963.
The Hunt familys sports holdings are
split equally among Lamar Seniors
four children. While a member of the
founding family of football in Kansas
City his brother Clark is the Chiefs
chairman and CEO this is his first
venture into owning a professional
hockey team.
I first contacted Brent Thiessen
by phone in August of 2104, Hunt
said, referring to the Mavericks
president and general, and began
the conversation. This really began
escalating in the past few months.
I attended a game and was so
impressed with the Events Center and
the total package presented by the
Mavericks the hockey team they put
on the ice, the total package that kept
everyone entertained throughout the
night and the passion of the fans.
While the team had not been on
the sale block, the ownership group
that was headed by Lubbock, Texas
residents Matt Adams, his brother
Mark and Mark Carper, listened to
Hunts offer and they were able to
reach a deal.
This will be the first time the
Mavericks will be operated by a
local owner.
I want to assure the fans that this
team is going to stay right here in
Independence in the Independence
Events Center, Hunt said. The Events
Center is a great asset of the team.
The size of the arena is perfect for this
hockey team.
Thiessen
and
coach
Ricard
Matvichuk will also be a part of
the Mavericks future. Thiessen has
signed a new contract extension and
Matvichuk will be back for his second
year in the ECHL.
The hockey people are going to be
running the hockey operations and we
are going to do everything possible to
give them all they need to make this a
11
Lamar Hunt, Jr. 2015 John Howe, Howe Creative Photography, Missouri Mavericks
successful team, Hunt added.
Hunt said there are three areas he
will address to make the Mavericks a
more vibrant, visible and successful
franchise.
First, we want to have a good
affiliation with an NHL and/or AHL
team and to associated with strong
Division I hockey programs to help
develop the sport in the metro area
and the Midwest, Hunt said.
Second, we want to develop hockey
youth programs in the metro area, he
added. We want young people to
come here to play hockey and learn
about the sport.
Third, we want to reach into the
Kansas City metro area so people
in the Greater Kansas City area and
Johnson County know what people in
Independence, Blue Springs and Lees
Summit already know this is a great
hockey team and organization.
And yes, he does have a key to the
Zomboni, and he will demonstrate his
skills at an upcoming game.
Ive driven the Zamboni, he joked,
and havent done any damage yet.
Hunt is the founder of Loretto
Companies, LLC, a real estate
investment company specializing in
the operation and management of
residential properties, as well as Loretto
Foundation, LLC, a private charitable
organization. Both companies are
based in the greater Kansas City area.
