Notes

Barry Kemp’s purchase of the Ice Dogs from Fred Comrie was completed, with a sale price of about $5 million. The International Hockey League team will finish this season at the Sports Arena but will announce Sunday it plans to play in Long Beach next season.

The club’s new lease, which is for five years with two five-year options, contains a clause that would allow it to move without penalty if, after its second season at the Long Beach Arena, it hasn’t sold 3,500 season tickets in any year. The Ice Dogs are averaging 4,319 fans at the Sports Arena, 18th in the 19-team league.

Ice Dog right wing Patrik Augusta and defenseman Dan Lambert were named to the Western Conference All-Star team. The IHL All-Star game will be played Jan. 13 in Houston.
