Should be a bit better this year I think.Guy Flaminghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03178739486819659419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6677867857097423502.post-36055371355350602472008-09-11T12:32:00.000-06:002008-09-11T12:32:00.000-06:00that's an interesting point anonymous...that's an interesting point anonymous...Dean Millardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09595172997614427768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6677867857097423502.post-69444350346777219122008-09-11T06:31:00.000-06:002008-09-11T06:31:00.000-06:00One thing that I'd throw in there as well is to no...One thing that I'd throw in there as well is to not let the junior teams play in NHL arenas until they can sell 60% of the seats (if a smaller arena is available). I'd rather have a packed small arena that a large arena wondering if I'm at a Panthers game.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6677867857097423502.post-24593391698420114522008-09-10T22:29:00.000-06:002008-09-10T22:29:00.000-06:00Thanks Nathan....we can all dream a little and tha...Thanks Nathan....we can all dream a little and that's pretty much what some of the suggestions were. We all know how the NCAA is and how the CHL is...but if we can dream of world peace we can hope for that right? <BR/><BR/>Thanks for the comments.<BR/>DeanoDean Millardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09595172997614427768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6677867857097423502.post-47116652956704643612008-09-10T16:52:00.000-06:002008-09-10T16:52:00.000-06:00Good piece guys, I like the idea if the NCAA allo...Good piece guys, I like the idea if the NCAA allows players to play in the CHL until their 18. But I don't think it wouldn't work because CHL teams will do back door deals to keep those players. Not allowing players to commit until they are 17 I like but it would only work if they allow players to play in the CHL. Don't like the 2 year rule if you go the NCAA route because players will go the CHL route.<BR/><BR/>I like getting rid of the ADT Challenge for something else.<BR/><BR/>I say in 10 to 15 years from now if the USHL can get the caliber players, have there league champion as the fourth team or the fifth team in the Memorial Cup. I don't like the host team having a spot but understand the host team helps bring in the money. <BR/><BR/>Once again good readNathan Fournierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07970366390829663376noreply@blogger.com
