In other ball hockey news, the commissioner of the WCBHA has said that he is working on creating a professional ball hockey league in north america. Even though no teams have been announced the commissioner said that the league will be ready by next season. (season 3 of the WCBHA). The ISBHF commented saying that a professional league would be good for international development and growth of the sport.

The Canadian Ball Hockey Association (CBHA) released  a statement saying that they may end up playing a big roll in the league. They also said that they have had several meetings with the WCBHA commissioner were they talked about development of young talent for both a professional league and the WCBHA. The American Street Hockey Institute has not released any statement about this announcement.

Looks great. Would you keep it mostly California and Nevada or would you consider jumping up north and adding maybe colleges in Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, etc..?

I have a 10 season plan to get this league up to roughly 60 teams, as well as a separate league using NCAA hockey conferences. As far as geography goes there will be at least one team in every state on this side of Kansas with a few on the other side.

St Mary’s College of California decided to not bring back their inaugural jerseys for their second season. They were not really concerned with their uniforms as they were in a period of transition as they lost some key defensive players and their director of operations. Their former head coach has taken on the job of director of operations for the team and the assistant coach became the head coach.

Finishing the regular season fifth over with 42 points University of California, Berkeley was eliminated in the semi-finals of the post season tournament. Since then they have been building a stronger offense and are confident in a return to the tournament with the hope of making it to the final. With regards to their uniforms, they waned keep both their alt and inaugural jerseys. During negotiations with nike they were given the option to keep either their current alt or replace it with their inaugural jersey. They finally came to the agreement that their inaugural jersey will replace their alt jersey and their alt jersey will replace their home jersey.

Fallowing a winless season the University of California Davis director of operations resigned. This led to 4 high school hockey players (who had previously signed letters of intent) opting to go to other schools within the WCBHA. Early in the off season ESPN did an article naming the top 100 players entering the WCBHA in its second season. All 4 of those high school players were within the top 50. The school had picked a former University of California Davis ice hockey player as their new director of operations. His first act as director of operations was firing the entire coaching staff. This was a violation of multiple contracts and as such they are suing the school. This obviously caught the attention of the director of athletics for University of California Davis. In an open statement he said that he was not pleased with the director of operations. The director of operations further explained that the University of California Davis ball hockey program is under a lot of pressure (coming from the school) due to his actions. He also explained that the team could be held financially responsible for the lawsuits. Which could financially destroy their ball hockey program.

As of now they do not have a full coaching staff either. Currently they only have an assistant coach.

Nice stuff!  I didn't think we needed another crossover hockey league, but I was wrong.
