We could have won that game last night. I think we will definitely win at home tomorrow as pay back.

Report: Niagara Falls, N.Y., wants OHL team, but must resolve land dispute
Another American city has emerged as a candidate for OHL expansion.
This could decrease the IceDogs attendance even more. I could see some Niagara Falls ON fans heading across the border to watch OHL hockey instead of travelling to St Catharines.
I really don’t think this will decrease at all. If anything it will increase as a true local rival would establish and there would be a big increase in American fans coming to the Niagara vs Niagara games.Report: Niagara Falls, N.Y., wants OHL team, but must resolve land dispute

I think for the vast majority of fans/if not all - the extra cost (border tolls) and time traveled wouldn't be worth it for junior games. I would probably go to a couple games there when Niagara is the road team howeverReport: Niagara Falls, N.Y., wants OHL team, but must resolve land dispute

This idea has floated around for decades. An arena attached to the casino; an entertainment complex on the former Summit Park Mall property; or something adjacent to the Sabres. The trouble with NFNY is it does not have a big population and people from Buffalo generally won't leave The Queen's City. Relying on tourists to take in an OHL game is a very risky business plan. Will Canadians cross the border to take in a game? Sure they will, but the fees at the bridge plus the USD costing $1.44 CAN, means it won't be every game.
The strongest proposal was for Terry Pegula (Bills, Sabres, American, Bandits, etc) to locate a team in or around Buffalo. This would be the next logical step to compliment his NHL and AHL teams, since the USHL teams are geographically distant. That's the reason Youngstown, OH and Muskegon, MI are petitioning to join the OHL.

I hope it happens. I think it would help the Dogs not hurt them.
It would take at least three to five years to get that arena built. Also, who would be paying for construction, the casino?

You said 2 for the whole weekend but they got 3… like I said
with no Kevin He that’s a good win. Hopefully He only 1 game and Levin back. Add in Sudbury Brampton and Oshawa regulation losses and it was a good day in the east
