The poor, poor Mudbugs. They lost their first hockey game of the year because their 11 H2B players hadn't gotten their visas yet.
Did I read that right? Mudbugs? Hockey player?. H2B visas?
You bet, it says so right on the sports page of Oct. 21 issue of The Oklahoman newspaper.
It says that the Bossier-Shreveport Mudbugs were whipped by the Oklahoma team 5-3 because the Blazers managed to get visas for their five H2B players and the Mudbugs were without the services of their 11 H2B players.
As almost all of you know, the H2B is a federal program that allows U.S. business owners to employ seasonal immigrant labor when no domestic workers are available.
What? There's a shortage of hockey players in the United States?
Well, I guess now we know. — Ron Hall
