I'd guess that Utica would be another bust of a city. If you were going to move to a Canadian market the only place I think it would work is Thunder Bay and I'm not sure of the arena situation there. Honestly there are very few AHL markets out there... most teams just float around every few years. At least Utica would lead to better travel for the players on the team.
