There has been a change at the ownership level with the Twin City Thunder.
Ben Gray sold his 50% share to Dan Hodge, who becomes the sole owner of the organization after a three-year partnership between the two men.
Gray also owns the Maine Moose youth hockey organization, based out of Camden National Bank Ice Vault in Hallowell, as well as the owner of Merit Pools & Spas in Augusta.

Hallowell is looking for a firm to redesign its 193-year-old former fire station, a plan that would provide a new home for the police station and other community uses.
The city recently issued a request for qualifications from architectural and engineering firms to design of an adaptive reuse of the building at 124 Second St. that would provide a modern home for the police department, but retain historic elements of the 4,500-square-foot building, partly for a museum that would also locate there. Proposals are due Jan. 29.
Built in 1828, the two-story brick building was the town hall then city hall until 1899, when the new city hall was built a few blocks north on Winthrop Street. It became the fire station in 1900, and the department was housed there until 2018, when a new station was built at Steven s Commons.
