A goose would be an appropriately terrifying mascot

USPHL Announces Sale Of NCDC Provo Predators; Relocating To Casper, Wyoming

NCDC relocation news as Provo moves to Casper. Likely due to ingratiating themselves in a market with more fan support.

I wonder if they're able to bring back the Casper Coyotes identity from the old WSHL days

The old team even left behind a starter kit graphic for the new USPHL team...

At what point in this rapid expansion will the NAHL collapse under its own bereaucratic weight? Or is this simply a giant Ponzi scheme or other investment scam that will go unchecked until some failed owner has a cousin who's a recent law school graduate? It just seems like several divisions of 20 or more teams aren't far off at this pace of League growth, which will water down any competitive value while requiring future seasons' Robertson Cup playoffs to start in December.
