(In addition, they may get into a situation of managing/owning minor league hockey team in Glendale, AZ, current home of NHL Phoenix, should the team leave.)
heh.... like how the headline for this topic was only covered in the very last sentence of the article....
But seems like it'd make sense. Decent enough size to make you think that they could support a hockey team, but too far west for the OHL and too far east for the WHL. Probably would be a good fit for either the ECHL or AHL, though if I had to guess it might be better off as an AHL market.
They had a UHL team back in the day. Not the first year i've heard the name thunder Bay thrown around. To get into the A though someone would have to be willing to house their team in Thunder Bay.
Phoenix??? Hopefully not an ECHL team to be, the league already tried it with the Roadrunners.
