Fort Mac or GP should get a team in the Dub. Those are two hockey crazy markets.
My pick would be GP. Revolution place has a 2900 seat arena which is on par with some smaller market dub teams and would sell out up there. The corporate season ticket sales alone would fill the place up.
Im sure a Reno could add another 1000 seats.
Bring WHL to northern Alberta!

I grew up watching Oil Barons hockey in Ft McMurray. It was the only game in town, so the games were always fun to watch. I went to SAIT with a guy who played goal for the Calgary Canucks, loved going to McMurray because the building was rocking. They'd fill it for the WHL, too.
My daughter's assistant coach played in the WHL in the 90s. He was traded to Prince George and actually quit rather than deal with their awful travel schedule.

Holy ####.
Canes just traded for Nick Henry and Leschychyn from Regina. Joseph, Kolle and 7 picks going the other way.
Two 19 year olds who are now the top two scorers on the Canes. Henry is 7th in the league scoring roght now and Leschychyn is 14th.
Again, holy ####

They still need a goalie, although Tetachuk has been improving. Id like to see them upgrade Klassen.
Tigers are looking good with Sogaard really playing well, too bad they're extremely unlikely to deal Hollett to the rival Canes.
It would be a perfect fit for both the Canes and for Hollett, who is too good of a goalie to be in a tandem situation at the WHL level.

I'll admit I know nothing about the contracts in junior hockey, but I was surprised to see there was such a thing as a no trade clause at this level.
This trade happened yesterday.
“Carter has waived his no trade clause for the opportunity to be a key player up front moving forward. We wish them all the best moving forward.”

There is a new rule in the WHL now where you can't trade any players who are under 18 years of age, unless they ask for one (or apparently 'agree' to it, in this case).
I'm assuming that's what they are referring to as the player in question is just 17.

PA lost only their 2nd game of the season last night in a shoot out to the league worst Swift Current Broncos.
Ended a 19 game win streak, they are now 26-1-1 lol.
They out shot the Broncos 50 something to 20 something though, appears as though Hofer stole that one.

Makes sense and is a sensible rule. Thanks for the explanation.

On Monday, Kootenay Ice are expected to announce their move to Winnipeg. First season is 19/20.

Interesting as having all 3 NHL/AHL/CHL teams in the same city has been avoided in Canada for some time.

The Prince Albert Raiders Director of Player Personnel Ron Gunville passed away this afternoon after losing his battle with cancer. He was a very great man who will be missed by many. RIP Gunner.

A kid that plays in the WHL has a sister that I worked with maybe 7 years ago or so. Anyway she got super trashed at a staff party and her boobs came out a few times, and her vagina even made an appearance. For obvious reasons I don't want to say which player... I don't want to embarrass anyone.
/CoolStoryBro
edit: to be more specific I'm only sharing because the kids good and may get drafted and play in the NHL. And isn't it an interesting anecdote to say "oh player x just scored a hatty! wow! his sister got naked at my staff party".
I dunno. My life isn't interesting.

Couldn’t you have just you knew the kid and not mentioned the sister?

Ryan Vandervlis who had burns to 60% of his body in that campfire accident in June, has signed with the Red Deer Vipers (Junior B). Great story of perseverance!

Lethbridge has acquired goalie Liam Hughes from Seattle. Sounds like Seattle is going into sell mode. Matthew Wedman and Reece Harsh are rumored to be the next to go.
