MANCHESTER, NH THREAD

I’m basically only active on the CIS forum, but this is my favourite random thread to follow. Dude I’d love if the AHL came back to Fredericton, it’s not happening either .

S/T to @dm8895 for making this thread a "Hot 100" post holder! Who'da thunk a mere 5 months ago that this barely tangential & purely fantastical topic would've left the equally intriguing ECHL to Richmond thread in a shower of ice shavings?

ETA: I forgot the ECHL to Albuquerque? thread. Another one that needs to brush off the snow & get back in the game.

[CANADIENSFAN90]

[MOD] I miss the AHL too, we also had numerous groups trying to bring a Q team here after the AHL left. It’s been 24 years and no AHL or Q team has stepped foot in the city, it’s easy to sit online and try and will other people to spend money . Something fell through every time , I remember when the Montreal Rocket were 99% coming to Fredericton according to the papers, I remember the summer everyone thought the Lewiston Maineiacs were moving here, didn’t happen and those were things that were real and not some guy online saying “a group is working on it “
Anyways I’m out of this discussion

 

[CANADIENSFAN90]

I doesn’t mean that Manchester will not get a another

 

[CANADIENSFAN90]

Manchester should get the hurricanes AHL team

The Hurricanes don't own an AHL franchise, nor do they have an AHL affiliation, so try again.

No franchise + no affiliation = blank canvas for kindergartener imagining

Yet they do own an NHL franchise. Why not just move that to Manchester???

Hell of a point! Why not? What could possibly go wrong?

Oh wait, the Manchester fans who thought they were too good for the ECHL will probably start to think they're inadequate for the NHL. Can't have that!

They AHL was supported the echl might work if you could convince them that the echl was not bad

They would support the AHL

Me when this thread gets updated.

Yeah, but guys like you were all "the ECHL is bad, we want AHL!" and do you think any sane hockey league is going back to a market that scorned them?

Kid...

The AHL in the northeast is on borrowed time. As soon as teams find ways to put them closer to them and can shoulder awful attendance figures, they'll build a Sun Belt division or add more teams to the heartland. It's just that travel is just so easy to fly in and out of that region for players and busing is cheap for scheduling.

We are never turning back the clock to them putting teams in the Maritimes or New England.

WTF is the backstory on this?

 

[Tilden Katz]

God I love when there is new posts in this thread.

I'm of the opinion that Manchester, UK should have an ECHL team. Put the coast back in east coast baby.

I just want to see Manchester,nh hockey back

People can’t handle different opinions

 

[VaCaps Fan]

Gotcha?

 

[JMCx4]

Gotcha?

Informed opinions are overrated in some circles.

 

[VaCaps Fan]

True that, I ain’t bitching about Richmond not having a team. They screwed up with the arena and it is what it is.
