The WHL's Brandon Wheat Kings have been sold to J&G Group of Companies, ending the long-time ownership of Kelly McCrimmon.

The deal was unanimously approved by the WHL’s board of governors last week and the Wheat Kings will officially change hands from McCrimmon, who was been sole owner for the past two decades, on Sept. 15.

“This was an extremely difficult decision for our family,” said McCrimmon, who joined the club in 1988 as its assistant general manager, in a press release. “The Wheat Kings have been our life, from playing here for two years and then operating the team for 31 years, 28 of those as an owner. There have been so many incredible moments, the victories, the people, the staff and of course the many players over the years that have worn our uniform. I started as GM when I was 28 years old. Brandon became our home, we love the city and we love Manitoba.”“This is a very exciting day for myself, my family and business partners,” said Jacobson.

“I would like to thank Kelly for this opportunity, the Wheat Kings mean everything to Brandon, Manitobans, and fans across Western Canada. We look forward to building on the past successes of the organization.”
