Coyotes Want Arizona-based AHL Affiliate

I can't see an AHL team being located anywhere else in Arizona besides Tucson, but then again Glendale would make a great spot for an AHL team.

[quote=""wellington""] If St. George can have a solid 500-1000 per game they could be a flagship franchise in the Pecos League. The key is having a cluster of teams in northern AZ, western CO, and Utah (i.e. Price). They could probably have an eastern division (Las Cruces, Alpine...

[quote=""wellington""]The CBL is gone... the remaining teams led by the Las Cruces owner, Andrew Dunn, formed the Pecos League: http://www.pecosleague.com/ http://www.pecosleague.com/images/mileage_map.gif It looks like they are focusing on southern NM and west Texas for 2011. Ov...

I'm not too familiar with the CBL, and I'm aware that its membership is down to 4 teams, but are there talks of expansion for 2011? As for Desert Valley, it seems like St. George could be their new home, according to Wikipedia . Here are some thoughts as to why this might be: --At least according to...

Wait, wait, wait...I thought the website said that the team was going to be back in 2010. So let's get this straight, did ownership see this coming? Is the franchise in Hawaii supposed to be the relocated 'Runners? Where are the answers? Way to leave us hanging, Mr. Berry.

[quote=""ChicoOutlawsFan""]From what I heard, Rick Barry (part-owner of the St. George RoadRunners) could be starting the Hawaii franchise soon. As far as Medford, Oregon, goes... there are a couple of people trying to start the Southern Oregon franchise.[/quote] Does that mean h...

Personally, I wonder if the park at Dixie State was partially built to house a minor-league team. I know that the Orem Owlz' park was built to house them and UVU. But has anyone heard that Rick Berry (StG GM/Part Owner) is also thinking of starting a GBL team in Hawaii? Does this mean that he has pa...
