Once again a big thanks to those who helped me out with the CHL project, now I'm looking for the Old Western Hockey League from 1954-1972. I have many of these...
Hey Guys, Mucho mucho thanks for the help here, now I'm complete the Central Hockey League, which was one of my easier projects as I had quite a bit of info to...

As someone who lives in Hamilton (however doesn't watch the NHL) I do welcome this possibility. Hamilton, Ontario has a municipal population of over 500,000...
Well as for Bettman, his big problem is that he has put so much of his tenure into expanding into non traditional markets. Right now if you grade his time as...
Here is where I disagree strongly with Bill. I think Phoenix, and always was, a pipe dream. Even if the head coach came out of retirement, the Coyotes...
... This article: http://sports.espn.go.com/chat/sportsnation/story?page=ultimatestandings07No1team from 2007 says that 12% of the Sabres season-ticket holders...
Thanks for califying that John. I remember at one point the Sabres allowed Canadian fans to pay in Canadian funds. Do they still do that? ... I'm not sure...
Gary Bettman is not concerned with, or even interested in, the population, rink, or transit system in Hamilton. It is not a question of whether the Hamilton...
Emanuel: Here is a partial list: Calgary Stampeders: Red base with black and white trim. (many programs just list red and white as colors) California Seals:...
Eddie Livingstone stirred up the staid hockey world (as it existed in the early WW1 years) by swooping in to buy the Tecumseh team and later folding them into...
... So if the guy buys the team and moves it to Hamilton, what building is the team going to play in? How old is the Copps Coliseum? And anyone who thinks that...
... There were plans made to do renovations to Copps back when the Nashville situation was ongoing. Copps is about 25 years old right now, which would...
I don't think Balsillie has much choice here. He was to buy a hockey team near his home, and one is not for sale. If the Leafs were for sale, he would be a...
From TSN: (full article http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=277915 ) "....In an interview, Mayor Fred Eisenberger said the city is only interested in a long-term...
I think Seattle would be a stretch right now, given the arena situation--not only is it (theoretically) substandard for an NBA team, but when they renovated it...
If Balsillie doesn't succeed, he's an Eddie Livingstone. If he does, he is Big Jim Norris, who took over a club (Detroit) in the Depression and provided...
But he thinks he's not going to have to indemnify the Leafs (Hamilton is outside the Sabres' 50-mile territorial radius). Mm-hmm. And wouldn't the AHL have a...
Although Big Jim *did* merge his "outlaw" team in Chicago (Shamrocks) with the Detroit Falcons, and suddenly players that had been banned for life by Frank...
I spent my lunch hour (plus) reading all the unsealed papers in the Arizona bankruptcy case, and here are my thoughts. Thoughts guys, not a legal opinion,...
... Yes, and as mentioned it's smallish. But until someone expresses an interest in moving a team there, it's irrelevant. Balsillie is interested in Southern...
... There are two problems with London: it's too small and there's no suitable arena. The London metro area is only 450,000. That's less than the population of...
