GLICKMAN
ADVERTISEMENTS
Marshall Glickman has branched out across the world.
Glickman, the former Trail Blazer president and Portland Family Entertainment managing partner, continues to be involved in various arena projects. He also works with the basketball Euro League and helps run tennis tournaments in France, Spain, Germany and England.
Living in Bend since last summer, Glickman now eyes building a “multipurpose cultural events center” there that could house pro hockey.
It’s in the “tire-kicking” phase, he emphasizes, as he seeks out interested Central Oregon business leaders with big bucks and gauges the political interest for such a facility.
“Hockey may or may not be a part of it,” says Glickman, whose wife, Lisa, and 7-year-old son, Laz, also moved back to Glickman’s home state from Boston.
Neither the Western Hockey League nor the Winter Hawks would be in the equation, but Glickman envisions pursuing an East Coast Hockey League franchise, if the pieces fall into place.
The ECHL is an NHL-affiliated pro league with nine western U.S. teams and a 10th (Ontario, Calif.) set to start play in October. The other cities: Las Vegas and Bakersfield, Fresno and Stockton, Calif., in the Pacific Division; Victoria, British Columbia, Utah, Alaska, Idaho and Phoenix in the West Division. In other words, Bend would be a good geographical fit.
Jack Carnefix, ECHL vice president for communications, says the league would be open to the idea of expanding to Bend.
Glickman left Portland in 2002 after he helped to start PFE, bring back Beaver baseball and Timber soccer and renovate PGE Park. It was an inglorious exit, as PFE lost millions of dollars under the watch of Glickman and Mark Gardiner.
But Glickman, 48, son of Blazer founder Harry Glickman, landed on his feet, using his many connections to stay in sports.
