Utica must be one boring town.

There was a really nice piece lately about the positive benefit the Comets have had on Utica -- arrived when the town was not at its best economically.  The city has embraced the team -- kind of a nice story.  Utica sounds like a decent place to live.

It's an interesting time to follow hockey: the technology makes games more available for the fan, but the players still have the real world problem of getting around, being awake when they do move back and forth between cities/farm teams.  The trend of putting a farm team in the home city is interesting.  We already have a Jr. team in Vancouver, but it would be interesting to see whether a farm team (Kalamazoo?) could be put in BC, perhaps even the Lower Mainland.  Maybe the interior.  Maybe in one of the First Nations areas that needs infrastructure, roads etc.  I don't know the economics of farm teams, but they can't be designed to make money, so why not have them do development/something for the province?
