This Darin Pastor is really into self promotion. Did a google search and this guy has about 100 blogs all talking about what a great guy he is. I mean like a Flickr account with no pictures, no nothing, but a full bio. Kinda creepy...

Pastor has reached out to Mike Nealy, President, Chief Operating Officer, and Alternate Governor of the Coyotes, directly to express interest in purchasing the team.

"Hockey is in my DNA," Pastor said. "My family has enjoyed a love affair with the sport for over three generations. When we saw the prospect to get involved with the NHL and purchase the Coyotes, it was like a dream come true."

"A native of Buffalo, N.Y., Pastor has been around the sport of hockey for his entire life. In 1956, his grandfather and great-uncles bought the Buffalo Bison Hockey Club when the previous owner threatened to move the team, and under their guidance, the Bisons improved dramatically, winning the Calder Cup in 1960, 1964, and 1970. Buffalo's roster featured many future NHL stars and quickly became one of the hottest tickets in the league, with an average attendance of over 10,500 per game. The Pastor family sold the Bisons in 1971 shortly after the franchise joined the NHL as the expansion Buffalo Sabres."
