Uuuuuummm ... about 500 miles, and an exchange rate?... At the end of the day what’s the real difference living in Muskegon or Peterborough
I'm talking about the differences in the day to day life of a 16 year old who's gonna be billeting in mid to low size cities in either Ontario or the US midwest. which is not much. All things the same I think you'd see a lot more Americans opt for the OHL than you currently do.Uuuuuummm ... about 500 miles, and an exchange rate?
I guess I could see Muskegon being let in considering they at least have the Ontario Sault, Saginaw and Flint nearby to take the load of travel...but I can't see Youngstown. Nearest opponent being Erie, instantly being the southernmost outpost, and probably having to travel 3 and a half, 4 hours to St. Catharines and crossing the border there more often then not. An incredibly weird place to put a team in the OHL, and it probably isn't going to work.
As someone noted in the other thread, Youngstown is actually closer to Sudbury than Green Bay.
