This is no longer true. The owners of SASM sold the ASHL a year or two ago (to one of the players in the league). I can't speak to what changes the new ownership had on the league (we left the year before the sale), but up until then, it was probably the best all around (ice times, number of teams, organized, etc) league in the city period (winter/summer).

This is true of all leagues I think. The Summer Division AA of the NCHL probably has the hightest quality talent in the city at the moment (in the last couple of years), but of course the ice times are nowhere near as good as the ASHL times.
