Gotta think the Moose will be leaving.
It's unfortunate the Ice are moving. While it will be nice for Brandon to have a new rivalry it is sad to me to see a team leave a small market for the big city. Junior hockey to me is about small cities and markets.
This will also cause a ripple effect as the two eastern divisions will not be balanced unless they move someone out and into the central division. I would have to think it's Swift Current which sucks for them as they lose their closest in province rivals and their travel schedule (and expenses) will increase which I am not sure is a good thing for a small market team.
