Maybe Vail in the CHL? http://www.vaildaily.com/article/200806 ... /689117623
I wish they would put a team back in Lubbock.

In winter, those numbers swell considerably, but will this keep people out of the restaurants, cafes and discos at night? Can it have someone choose Vail over Aspen or Breckinridge for a winter vacation. Would there be enough people left around town if the team makes the playoffs? The model might be the Traverse City baseball team, which is averaging 3,500 a game in the Frontier League. It's not a big town on its own, but it is a summer vacation spot.
The Texas Stars AHL franchise will operate out of the new Cedar Park Events Center next year. This year the Austin Ice Bats shut down. The Ice Bats owner bought the Amarillo Gorillas. Thus, there will be no hockey this year in Austin. Arenas that do not have suites, will eventually have their franchises fade away. Suites are just as important for the survival of minor league hockey as major league hockey.

This league (NIFL) is like a frickin' cockroach. You could throw a nuclear bomb at it and it would still survive

So I'd rather spend a quarter of an ABA franchise to repair my car, as opposed to spending a franchise and a half to get a new car that might have some planned obsolescence that causes it to break down 5 days after the end of the warranty period.
