Bradenton, Florida still regrets the Gulf Coast Swords fiasco years after they tore down the stone walls..That doesn’t even account for the ECHL and FPHL teams that were announced but never played games

Three giant slabs and then the company up and said "we out of money".Oh god, I totally forgot about that. How far along did the arena get built?
2006 is when the current arena openedOh god, I totally forgot about that. How far along did the arena get built?
they'll be here for a while.... the ECHL doesn't allow a 1 yr expansion and a contract affiliation w/ the Rangers/Hartford if the team wasn't going to be here long-term..... this isn't DSE that over-extended its ownershipGave a reminder to the wife last night.
We going to Bloomington this year in the spring, I hope...coz I don't think they're going to be around next season.
Hope you're right.they'll be here for a while.... the ECHL doesn't allow a 1 yr expansion and a contract affiliation w/ the Rangers/Hartford if the team wasn't going to be here long-term..... this isn't DSE that over-extended its ownership
then why would the ECHL approve the expansion to Bloomington, then, nevermind the other new franchise that was added in Tahoe..... posters are forgetting the ECHL isn't there the way the NHL/AHL is w/ 32 teams.... what markets haven't yet been served.... similiar to when Coachella Valley was announced there was no previous franchise history thereHope you're right.
Eh, I think you’re overthinking it if you think that teaming up with NYR is a guarantee to definitely last more than a year. The ECHL is pretty far down the list of things that NHL execs and national media care about.
That being said, while Bloomington has a troubled history, there’s more money in the market than ever before, hockey’s popularity is growing again, and the Bison seemingly have a very eager-to-please municipal partner that absolutely wants a tenant for the soon-to-be-renamed arena. Even if the gate isn’t big, I think they’ll stick around for a little while at least.
Got a Bison shirt for Father’s Day, too. Doing our part.
I have absolutely no idea.then why would the ECHL approve the expansion to Bloomington, then, nevermind the other new franchise that was added in Tahoe..... posters are forgetting the ECHL isn't there the way the NHL/AHL is w/ 32 teams.... what markets haven't yet been served.... similiar to when Coachella Valley was announced there was no previous franchise history there
Then you are more like HUTCH than you care to admit.I have absolutely no idea. ...
um.Then you are more like HUTCH than you care to admit.
It's not a felony, it just puts you on the Watch List.um.
OK?
Can't I just hope he's right without being indicted on 34 felony counts?
Can't find this on their website, nor on their X or F/B accounts. Source, please?Bison have been profiling the other franchises in the ECHL W/ A BRIEF SYNOPSIS of their history....
you know how some teams have social media but not all teams have staff dedicated to it.... well it's just like any franchise fan sites fill in those gaps... and since Bloomington is a new franchise.... at least to the ECHL.... they've done the North Division teams on their page.... started w/ Adirondack, then Wheeling... Norfolk.... Maine was just profiled by their fanbase.... reasoning is not everyone plays every other team here.... same as we culminate from the league .... I would expect they'll get to every team in the off season and likely T-R is next from what is out there for those fans likely new to the league that are maybe unaware or may not follow teams that may not play or see.... it's like Tahoe as well... what do the established teams and fanbases really know about a new market.... kinda of why this thread was created as it is for most new franchises here... will we see Bison posters here.... or do they know about this forum/site yet....Can't find this on their website, nor on their X or F/B accounts.

So in one extra word: "Bison FANBOIS have been profiling the other franchises in the ECHL W/ A BRIEF SYNOPSIS of their history....". A very handy resource to stimulate conversation about the return of pro hockey to BLM-town.you know how some teams have social media but not all teams have staff dedicated to it.... well it's just like any franchise fan sites fill in those gaps... and since Bloomington is a new franchise.... at least to the ECHL.... they've done the North Division teams on their page.... started w/ Adirondack, then Wheeling...
