Leipold Sells Lacrosse Team
Barely one month into his official ownership of the Minnesota Wild, Craig Leipold has made a deal.
John Arlotta, a longtime business associate and friend of Leipold, has signed a letter of intent to buy the Minnesota Swarm. The Wild's parent company has owned the lacrosse team since 2004.
Arlotta is a health care executive in Denver and an ardent supporter of the University of Notre Dame's lacrosse teams. The takeover is pending National Lacrosse League approval.
