I really hope at least Danbury can get an arena and move onto the SPHL or ECHL or something. Clearly hockey works there.
If they went to the ECHL, the closest teams would be Elmira (3.5-4 hrs), Reading (3.5-4 hrs), and Wheeling (5.5 hrs), which actually seems like the standard for the three teams in the Atlantic Divison.
That wouldn't be to bad. Danbury deserves something better than this league.
Problem is, with their current arena situation, they can't really do much better than the FHL.
No more Akwesane? I heard that was an island that you had to pay a toll to access because it is tribal land.
3000 isn't good enough for East Coast? What do they require? 5000?
There is no requirement per se, but the Danbury Ice Arena is not a sufficient facility.

My home ice rink, the Connellsville Ice Mine is hosting a neutral site game between Danville and Watertown on March 22nd. For those wondering, Connellsville is 50 miles south of Pittsburgh. It seems this is an attempt to promote expansion of the league. I would be very excited to have a team here, but I just don't think there would be enough fan interest to support it.
Have you ever seen an FHL game? You will quickly understand why fans will lose interest.
I feel sorry for any potential city that the FHL attempts to expand too, the city of Williamsport is still dealing with the aftermath!

Williamsport, was/is in its position, Sniper, bc it's bad ownership, and an outdoor arena didn't help matters
