well obviously I am not the brightest. I meant one of them to be Clarksville TNAre the two Wheeling teams going to share an arena, or will they build a new one for the second team?

Savannah and manchester would come in at the same time I believe, unless norfolk foldsthe next expansion will be
savannah (within 3-6 years)
manchester (within 2-4 years)
san Antonio (5-10 years)
It would be handy if they did, but probably would only be simultaneous if it just happens to work out that way for the two ownership groups. The league isn't going to make a team wait just because the divisions would be uneven. At one point the northeast division was so much larger than the northwest (like 5 teams vs 9 if I remember correctly) that they had an extra playoff round to supposedly make it more fair.Savannah and manchester would come in at the same time I believe, unless norfolk folds
Easy enough to make a mistake when typing in a large list like that. I've been guilty of the same myself.well obviously I am not the brightest. I meant one of them to be Clarksville TN

While I share your overall sentiment on SA as a not-bloody-likely landing spot for ECHL hockey, the city does have an "other arena" in the Alamodome. It has a functional ice plant (as witnessed by this recent job posting), which history shows is more than enough for hockey fans to include a city repeatedly in such speculative discussions.
Everything has been quiet regarding Manchester.Savannah and manchester would come in at the same time I believe, unless norfolk folds
Its pretty obvious that the spurs could no longer afford to loose money on the purchases peter holt made during the years Tim Duncan played for the spurs.Any evidence to support San Antonio's willingness or capability to attract an ECHL franchise? There has been plenty of evidence to show hockey will not return.

Heard something interesting from a reliable source. What do you guys think about Albuquerque
Vet your sources.I hear the city is lovely.
A) WHO'S THE owner, is that owner an NHL Organization?;Heard something interesting from a reliable source. What do you guys think about Albuquerque

First half of the season, traveling team (ripping a page from the FPHL Playbook). Second half of the season, hosting the rest of the League in the high desert climes of All-Beef-Jerky (good spot for an ASG weekend, too).Worked out so well in the CHL, it couldn't possibly fail again now that it'd be nine hours from its nearest opponent!

Would not be owned by an NHL org. I had just heard there have been talks with a few cities by an ownership group and I did not know too much about the arena situation in Albuquerque. I don’t think it would work out compared to another city mentioned especially with the large travel distance between teams in that division.WHO'S THE owner, is that owner an NHL Organization?;
Ironically, I heard that info from my cat's vet!Vet your sources.

I’ll try to get more information when I can, but at least to me it did not seem like the main city of focus. Just one they’d looked into.Perhaps your "reliable source" can fill you in on the details...
You just go back to your source & tell them that the HF-BOG has flatly rejected Albuqurque as an expansion location. Next!I’ll try to get more information when I can, but at least to me it did not seem like the main city of focus. Just one they’d looked into.
Stranger notions have fueled this Board.I'll note that the owner of Albuquerque's AAA baseball team is Ken Young, former owner of the Norfolk Admirals. I suspect he's had enough of hockey however.
