16kid Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 This is something I posted on hfboards a while ago. Maybe the league wont happen but this won't stop me from creating any jersey concepts!! What if the 3 major leagues in the CJHL combined? Just an idea.What about a new league?My suggestion is to form a Western Canadian Jr. A Hockey league, similiar to the structure of the WHL. This will allow Junior A players to play against the best and be in the eye of both College and professional scouts on a daily basis.I will supply more details about 20 yesr olds, inter-locking schedule, etc. later, but here is a quick look at "POSSIBLE" innagural teams in this new leagueWESTERN CONFERENCENorth DivisionPenticton VeesPrince George Spruce kingsSalmon Arm SilverbacksVernon VipersSouth DivisionChillawachk ChiefsLangley RivermenSurrey EaglesWenatchee WildEast DivisionBrooks BanditsCanada Under 18 Team - Calgary based teamFort Mac Oil BaronsOkotoks OilersEASTERN CONFERENCEWest DivisionCamrose KodiaksDrumheller DragonsGrand Prairie StormLloydminster BobcatsNorth DivisionBattleford North StarsHumboldt BroncosMelfort MustangsNotre Dame HoundsSouth DivisionYorkton terriersMelville MillionairesWeyburn Red WingsEstevan BruinsWhy would the teams join?This will be the Elite Jr. A country in Canada. Winner of our league will face the USHL champion.Budget?Attendance is going down. Fans/advertisers want to see and support a better product. New league will attract larger fan base.New league-larger fan base - increase financial support from National brands/advertisers.There are some questions, but, I think we can all agree that the status-quo is not working.Time to think outside the box. I look forward to the debate or maybe your approval of this new league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
16kid Posted December 17, 2013 Author Share Posted December 17, 2013 Anyway on to the concpets. Each team will get 4 jerseys.Anway ill start with the Prince George Spruce Kings. With the rumor mill spreading that the Cougars will be shipped out of town the Kings will move in to the CN Centre. Onto the jerseys right now they just use Ranger jerseys so i wanted to stay with a classic feel but not have direct copies of New York. http://s1079.photobucket.com/user/16kid16/media/OkotooksOilers.png.html?sort=3&o=1[/image]I'm having trouble posting the image right now ill try again later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

16kid Posted December 17, 2013 Author Share Posted December 17, 2013 Thank you you fine sir. Thank you for the comment also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopernv Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 This is just BC, AB, SK right?First set looks very nice. The home and away on the left are better than the right, I just think the look is clean and appealing enough to not fauxback it. Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edubdesign Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 First off, I'm a little insulted you haven't included my hometown Bombers in this.Secondly, the jerseys are classy, but it would be nice to have a little variety in that 3rd and 4th, not just darker versions of the home and road.

JackieMoon Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 I like Langley's Blue Jackets inspiration. Columbus needs to use that white template for a road jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
16kid Posted December 17, 2013 Author Share Posted December 17, 2013 Thanks for the comments guys yes it is lopernv I originally had Manitoba on the list but I thought that would be horrid for travel. Tis the reason I left the Bombers and there timeless hockey tradition out of it, just travel nothing else. Any other location they would be in here for sure. Sohiosportsfreak I to agree with Langleys look and the vintage white, I just wish they had a slightly different template, so it's not a jackets duplicate.... Also guys I should have mentioned this earlier but the left is the home and away and the right is the two alternates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ujju2 Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Should I be insulted that my hometown, Edmonton, the capital of Alberta, isn't included, while places like Okotoks have teams? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
16kid Posted December 17, 2013 Author Share Posted December 17, 2013 It's all about fan support right? Okotoks has good fan support and a nice arena.. Also Edmonton has very good support with the Oil Kings. This league is supposed to compete wth the WHL and vise versa.. It wouldn't be fair to both teams.

kiwi_canadian Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 It's all about fan support right? Okotoks has good fan support and a nice arena.. Also Edmonton has very good support with the Oil Kings. This league is supposed to compete wth the WHL and vise versa.. It wouldn't be fair to both teams.I can see the logic behind this but what about Victoria? I know they have the Royals as well as the Grizzles. In all honesty they can support both and are supporting both. If you were to include the Grizzles, I would suggest you change the name to the West Shore Grizzles as they play out of the West Shore area of Victoria and cater more towards the Western Communities part of town.Also, what about Nanaimo? The Clippers have a strong following there and could definately contribute to this league... Infact a few of the Island teams could do fine in this league (Duncan and Port Alberni as well)Not trying to intrude, just throwing my opinion out there... Looking forward to the rest of the series by the way and Prince George looks pretty sharp. Don't think you can do much with what they already have. Even though they do use the Rangers template, it is a look that works well with the Kings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
16kid Posted December 17, 2013 Author Share Posted December 17, 2013 Actually Kiwi I agree with everything you say.. Victoria does have enough fan support to be financially stable in this league for sure but again it's just because they do have the Royals.... So with other cities being able to support a franchise... I just figured to leave them out... Secondly with Nanaimo this is where PG Cougars come in.... The last I heard from the WHL news and such is PG will be out and Nanaimo would be in.... That's the only reason I left them out... Lastly with Port Alberni, I did originally have them in but with news with Wenatchee coming to the BCHL next year, I figured it would be no problem to jump to the WCHL... It is to bad though because from what I have heard the bulldogs have some of the best fans in the BCHL, but somebody had to be out. Just finishing up the final touches on Lloyd, will be up tonight or tomorrow depending if I can get the image to work or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
16kid Posted December 18, 2013 Author Share Posted December 18, 2013 Well since I still get that extension is not allowed on this community here is the link for Lloyd http://s1079.photobucket.com/user/16kid16/media/Bobcats.png.html?filters[user]=127958076&filters[recent]=1&sort=1&o=0Right now the Bobcats just have Blackhawks jerseys similar to the ones of PG. I wanted to give a modern look for a modern team.. what better way to make it look like tiger stripes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
