McCall Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Population/metro area isn't the only factor. Is it a baseball market? Will they be able to have their own fanbase? They may have a big Braves fanbase there that it may not be much different than the Rays in Tampa Bay where they don't draw much of their own fans but more fans of the opposing team.

I'd imagine quite a few Braves fans would switch. I think Charlotte would work, I love the Orioles, but if Richmond (VA) got a team, I would be all over them. I'm sure plenty of people 'round there feel the same way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are wanting to refer to North Carolina's "Golden Triangle", those three cities are Raleigh, Chapel Hill, and Durham. Heck, if you are looking for a city an hour away from Charlotte, it is Columbia, SC to the south and to the east it is Winston-Salem.

monkeypower Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Right now in the WHL there are 22 teams, 10 in the West and 12 in the East. The prairie teams are in the East, while the American teams and the B.C. teams are in the West... besides Kootenay. The divisional are all set up provincially (the East is Saskatchewan and Manitoba) and American, with Kootenay stuck with the Alberta teams.

jlog3000 Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 (edited) For Alberta, I would guess Fort Saskatchewan, Drumheller and Fort McMurray (even though those two have pretty successful AJHL teams) would be the best ideas.

Just going off Wikipedia population numbers, the Northwest team could be Tacoma (they had a team before), or Bellevue but I don't know much about that area of the States. Those suggestions would be great if there was a moment of expansion. But when it comes to scheduling, it would be like the following: One WHL team would face the other 5 intra-division teams 6 times (total of 30), then the other 6 non-division/intra-conference teams 3 times (total of 18), and finally the other 12 non-conference teams twice (total of 24) for a total of 72 games in a season.

The_Admiral Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 I like your WHL proposal, monkeypower. I don't like adding more teams. 22 is more than plenty for a regional league, and it's not like they're leaving a lot of big cities on the table while committing to Prince George and Swift Current. Bellevue and Tacoma are bad ideas with one team in Kent and another in Everett already. Fort McMurray is connected to the rest of the world by little planes and one road; that it even exists in the condition it does is something of an abomination.

Damn! But I won't blame you for that because it's your opinion, after all.I agree with admiral. There isn't really room for more teams in Alberta, I was grasping at straws for suitable places in Alberta and the N.W.The unbalanced schedule will always happen because the uneven divisions and some of the Eastern teams only play the US teams once a year because of travel.I just moved Kootenay because it evens up the conferences and reduces Kootenay's travel because they're with their province.

jlog3000 Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 Almost a year ago, I made a prediction of how the NHL league format would look like, which Detroit and Columbus are in the Eastern Conference, while Winnipeg is back to the Western Conference. Love that current format which is displayed for this season. But in my mind, it needed some modifications, which I believe that the Quebec Nordiques and the Hartford Whalers should have returned, just like the Winnipeg Jets did after replacing the Atlanta Thrashers last season. Here was my predicted format with some game-scheduling boost: 1. – Eastern Conference: 1.1. – Patrick Division: 1.1.1. – Atlantic Section: New Jersey N.Y. Islanders N.Y. Rangers Philadelphia 1.1.2. – Southeast Section: Carolina Florida Tampa Bay Washington 1.2. – Adams Division: 1.2.1. – Northeast Section: Boston Buffalo Hartford (return) Pittsburgh 1.2.2. – Mideast Section: Montreal Ottawa Quebec (return) Toronto 2 – Western Conference: 2.1. – Norris Division: 2.1.1. – Central Section: Chicago Columbus Detroit St. Louis 2.1.2. – Midwest Section: Dallas Minnesota Nashville Winnipeg 2.2. – Smythe Division: 2.2.1. – Northwest Section: Calgary Colorado Edmonton Vancouver 2.2.2. – Pacific Section: Anaheim Los Angeles Phoenix San Jose I.) Schedule Format V-1.0 (84 total games): a.) Conference play; Division play; Intra-Section play: Each team will play four times – two home, two away – for a total of 12 Intra-Division Intra-Section games (3 * 4 = 12). b.) Conference play; Division play; Out-of-Section play: Each team will play all four teams four times – two home, two away – for a total of 16 Intra-Division Out-of-Section games (4 * 4 = 16). c.) Conference play; Out-of-Division play: Each team will play all eight teams three times for a total of 24 Out-of-Division games (8 * 3 =24). d.) Out-of-Conference play: Each team will play all 16 teams twice – one home, one away – for a total of 32 Out-of-Conference games (16 * 2 =32). II:) Schedule Format V-2.0 (82 total games): a.) Conference play; Division play; Intra-Section play: Each team will play six times – three home, three away – for a total of 18 Intra-Division Intra-Section games (3 * 6 = 18). b.) Conference play; Division play; Out-of-Section play: Each team will play all four teams four times – two home, two away – for a total of 16 Intra-Division Out-of-Section games (4 * 4 = 16). c.)
