  1. I also cleared everything but it's still a hot mess. pretty much making the site unusuable. Maybe it's my outdated android. Try tomorrow I guess
  2. Seahawks, King Dome imploded and Century-Qwest-Seahawk Stadium built in its place.
  3. Dickinson is 3 hours from Minot and about the same to the Black Hills where the Spearfish and Rapid teams will be placed. Pretty reasonable distances for teams to travel in that area. I'm hoping this league maintains as I've always thought a minor league baseball system would do well there. Nothing else around besides amateur ball so hopefully the locals support it.
  4. Scotiabank and yes it was nauseating. Thanks for bringing me back to that dark and terrible place.
  5. I did learn John Elway was born in Port Angeles though. Wikipedia has it's moments.
  6. Went on their Facebook page and one of the first posts has some cockamamie story about some legendary left-handed baseball player who gave up stardom in the MLB to return home to PA to play ball. Super boring. Anyway I presume the owner is left handed and soon to have his pockets left without the money he puts into this team. Great town but no way they can support a WCL team.
  7. Not without the King Paul's blessing. The Mighty Allen owns the Moda and without his direct involvement there will be no NHL in Portland. Which brings me to thinking there won't be big league hockey in the foreseeable future. Pretty sad because I think Portland and Seattle would be great markets. Been waiting for years and losing hope on either happening.
  8. St. John's vs Alaska in the Kelly Cup finals would be fun. Probably bankrupt both teams in airfare cost.
  9. Sad news. I always thought Bakersfield would be a great market for the Cal League if only the city and team could figure out how to get a better stadium than the sad sack Sam Lynn built in the 40's. No shocker though on High Desert...i too am surprised they lasted so long.
  10. Yeah just noticed that. Getting late sorry and signing off
  11. Grew up in both of the Dakotas and Fargo would be a great market. Sioux Falls as well with their new 10,000 plus arena. Both cities have USHL teams with SF getting good attendance so I could definitely see AHL knocking on their doors soon.
  12. Why is the West Chester Ram peering into my soul. I don't like him.
  13. Yeah I'm in total agreement with you especially with the San Jose situation. I figure they are waiting on one of the new arenas like Astro said and Winnipeg AHL will start to lag at some point so hopefully Thunder Bay can figure out their arena issue as that seems like a perfect fit. I'm still hoping the Canucks come knocking on Seattle's door again and puts the team in the Key since it looks like no new arena here for god knows how long for NHL.
  14. No idea why it quoted discrimihater but anyway. Manitoba pulling in 7,000 plus last season for AHL hockey isn't too bad. There a lot worse cities out there
  15. I don't see Portland moving to AHL hockey since the Winterhawks are so entrenched with their long time history and Tacoma is out because the Tacoma Dome is such an obsolete dumpster with city officials lost in the woods with any ideas of how to find money for a refurbishment. Tacoma would be a great market for minor league hockey but no arena means no team. Abby seems like a train wreck where teams go to die which leaves Seattle and the Key. With the T Birds playing in Kent a good 30 minute drive in late afternoon traffic from Seattle I believe there's more than enough fans to get decent attendance numbers for AHL. Hell we had the Comets all ready to move in a few years ago until the NHL stepped in to squash it because the Coyotes were on the verge of moving in.
  16. I think it will be a good move for the Giants. The Coliseum is a great old building with all it's history and memories but the LEC seems like a better fit. Newer and at 5,000 plus capacity more suited for the WHL. Guess poor Abby gets the soon to be booted BCHL Rivermen.
  17. True shame that they're ditching the Zephyrs name. It never quite fit New Orleans but its one of my all time favorite names going back to their days in Denver. I remember getting a Denver Zephyrs card back in the day and loving the name but having no idea what the hell a Zephyr was...had to look it up in the dictionary but I was still a bit confused. Sad day but hopefully it will make a comeback somewhere someday soon.
  18. Easier to move the AHL Coyotes from Tucson to Phoenix in two years when the NHL Coyotes move to Las Vegas. As a west coaster I am glad to see more AHL teams moving this way but it his sad to see the historical east coast teams losing out.
  19. The Big 10 can have Arizona State. They've already messed with tradition by killing the best college hockey conference in the WCHA so adding a desert hockey team to be "rivals" with Minnesota and Wisconsin makes perfect sense. Kill me now please.
  20. Highschool team in the mid 90's had better jerseys. I know Kitsap has been hanging on by a thread but c'mon guys. This is no bueno.
