I'm sorry, did somebody say that the SPHL would be around for another 5-10 years?

SPHL New Teams
No Ice in Chattanooga
It was mentioned that Chattanooga is too close to Knoxville to be a viable SPHL option.
Having discussed this with some persons in the organization, they would LOVE to have a team in Chattanooga however there is really no place to play.
The places that exist in Chattanooga don't have facilities for an ice surface. In addtion, the success of some of the SPHL teams has been due to the thrifty management of money and they don't have the cash to install a chiller system in an existing facitlity.
Thus no Chattanooga team in the near future. It's the facility, not the location.

Ok, now we're starting to veer back into drug induced fantasies and hallucinations. What CHL team is close enough to the SPHL to make a go of it? Besides Richmond and Roanoke, what UHL teams could hack the travel? ECHL teams dropping down?-the "success" of Pee Dee kind of shoots a hole in that theory.adsco wrote:The SPHL has a far more feasible budget then the UHL, ECHL, and Central League. In fact you will probably see teams from those leagues join the SPHL.

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.

Proud to be a veteran of these boards for the last 5 years...
You need to have an icemaker in addition to having a barn (and I believe the place is literally a barn).Minor League Man wrote:Hello, Camp Jordan Arena?

i think we might see a few teams come around in the 07-08 season like some SC teams....nothing against pee dee but when they in the echl they were only avergaing about 2,000 a game,so not a big drop there..i think with the new local ownership and a good marketing plan they'll be ok...in the future i think greeneville,augusta pensacola and maybe columbia may drop to the sphl.. i dont think you'll see any chl teams defect with the exception of maybe memphis but i dont think that'll happenrams80 wrote:Ok, now we're starting to veer back into drug induced fantasies and hallucinations.
