The principal owners of the St. Louis Blues have now taken control of the Peoria Rivermen. SCP Worldwide has announced they have closed on the purchase of the Peoria Rivermen from Bruce Saurs and Anne Griffith. The move was approved by the American Hockey League last week. Saurs will stay on in a consultant role and Bart Rogers will remain as Rivermen President and CEO. The Rivermen have served as a Blues affiliate in recent years.
