Are you insinuating this is little more than a money laundering operation?

Or is it just me? Because if it’s just me, hey, it’s not like I haven’t seen it before.

No - the FPHL is a money laundering operation.

This is a league to create a place for little Francis to play "professional hockey," despite the fact that he was such a bender that his career should've ended in Midget B.

The Millionaires have a schedule now. Looks like they're playing a patchwork slate of other leagues' senior and amateur teams. For those who can't read the fine print, the schedule is posted on Scores/Schedules

And this from whoever runs the WPHL Facebook messenger account....

If you follow Frankie Santelli's facebook page, his "core values" seems to be somewhere between Right Wing Nutjob and Full Blown Nazi, so I question what exactly the league's "core values" are.

None of those senior teams have sufficient revenue streams to be "professional," even at the ankle-bending levels of "professional hockey" that Frankie has played. It's literally a scheme so a poseur can keep adding lines to his Elite Prospects page. SAD!

So this "league" is going to field one team in an NHL practice facility to play games against senior teams in established leagues? AND they kicked out the one city that was actively trying to be a part of that league? This is more of a clusterf*** than I had imagined. I will be surprised if this team in Vegas is not utterly dominated by the senior teams every game.

How big a dash do we think Frankie Santelli can be in a single game??

Well there will be at least two players playing in the WPHL this season, as announced in these thoroughly detailed press releases

For slightly a few more details about their careers I will also add their EP pages

Will they be joining that unnamed 104-pound defenseman?

I hope we're not done talking about this shit show because Las Vegas has gone 1-2 in their first three games against senior teams, losing their second and third games 11-2 and 15-3 respectively. They did squeak out a win in their inaugural game 5-4 though

Nothing says "professional hockey" like losing to senior teams!

Hey, did @NJdangles99 finish that article yet?

DAGNABBIT! I neglected to check the Penniless Puck Pushers' home schedule while me 'n' Mrs. JMC were in LV last month. Another opportunity lost. :booboo:
