At least half the time there is need for a call up it's on a road trip. Which Utica and their divisional schedule are usually near a major hub as I've explained numerous times. You said there was lots wrong with Utica and came back with one reason which I've already explained is not as big an issue as you think it is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am pretty sure that the Comets would be able to sell out that arena fairly regularly. I doubt it, they had a hard time selling out that game, tickets were available one week ago 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fans there have been great, the kids are far away from the vulturous media of the lower mainland, and they're given way more practice time due to a significantly shorter travel schedule. Hmmm you make a very good point. Perhaps it's best they stay in Utica. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Googlie Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 Also a factor would be a 2 hour flight to anywhere, versus current bus rides to about 1/2 their away games. See:. https://theahl.com/team-map-directory 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Six figures barely covers it in Vancouver area! Why do you think young people are leaving BC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention career AHLers and 2 way deal players can make as little as 5 figures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
