Once they go on hiatus, they will be done. I can't see why the league said no to them moving to Strathmore. Sure the building isn't so great right now but 4 or 5 hundred in a crap building is better then 150 at FDB. It will also be interesting to see what happens out in Cranbrook with the ICE moving away, gotta think a BCHL team will want in there, but an AJHL team makes a lot of sense to.
The league also voted to go to a full interlocking schedule either this coming year or the one after meaning equal games against all teams (rather then 2 north vs south and then 6 within the division) so two trips to Ft Mc, and GP so much higher travel costs for the teams, such a wrong decision financially for so many of the teams.
Moving to Strathmore just seemed like such a no brainer, especially with them having lost the Bisons to Airdrie. And by the way Airdrie already has an AJHL team, they are just playing in the wrong league.
