CJR Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 The WHA has some teams. I think Quebec signed a lease last week, for one. FantasyHockeySim.com || DetroitHockey.Net || DetroitHockey.Net FHL || cjr.dev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KCScout76 Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 Doesn't the WHA need teams first??? would be nice! They look to reap the rewards with the NHL shutting down-if no agreement is made.

Stampman Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 I don't like the logos--they look uncomfortably squeezed. Comic Sans walks into a bar, and the bartender says, "Sorry, we don't serve your type here." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spyboy1 Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 Funny, there has been less than zero mention of this league, much less an actual team, here in Minneapolis.This clearly falls under "I'll believe it when I see it."JeffB Click here to read Third String Goalie - The Hockey Jersey of the Day Blog Click here to see my hockey and baseball jersey collection online ?You don?t like to see 20 kids punching 20 other kids.

NJTank Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 This league may have a real chance if the NHL lockout last long so they should try and get teams into bigger markets. www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickNickNick Posted February 11, 2004 Author Share Posted February 11, 2004 The biggest problem is finding a suitable arena. Most of the NHL ones I'd imagine are under contract to just house the NHL teams. (Does anyone know exactly how many of the arenas are owned by the same people who own the team?)That's why MSG and the like won't have a team. Spoiler New York Rangers.

CJR Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 Those eleven cities have interested ownership groups, that's all. Some of the ownership groups have signed conditional leases. No franchises have been announced. FantasyHockeySim.com || DetroitHockey.Net || DetroitHockey.Net FHL || cjr.dev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JQK Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 Of the 11 cities, i think the WHA will start off with 8 franchises, probrally with these cities. They'll want to begin in places that have a heavy hockey fanbase, and where the WHA may have had a foothold all those years ago...ChicagoClevelandDetroitHamiltonMinneapolisQuébecSt. LouisToronto...These cities seem to be the obvious choices to grant francishes to, of those 11 cities listed.

yh Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 I keep hearing about St. Louis having a team, but there has not been one whisper in the local media about this, and that's odd given the fact that St. Louis is the sports rumormongering capital of the midwest. Shoot, I can remember when the Post Dispatch broke the story in 1984 that Ray Malavasi had been hired to coach the St. Louis USFL expansion team that not only was never granted a franchise, but apparently never even applied for one!

Burning River Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 Regarding the Cleveland WHL team. It seems that the team would play in the CSU Convocation Center. It's a 12,500 seat facility for indoor soccer/hockey. About 13,500 for hoops. The lay out is similar to the old Richfield Coliseum and the San Diego Sprts Arena. I actually feel that this team will do better than the AHL Barons. The Barons simply should NOT be playing in Gund Arena. The tickets are pricey for a so-called "Professional", yet still MINOR (Meaning NOT the top level) league team. Consessions are through the roof as well. So, the WHL (dare I say Crusaders) tickets will be MUCH more consumer friendly. The arena is NOT loaded up with loges and "special" club seat sections.On that WHA2 page, there is a link to the "New" WHA on the left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
