For their current facilities, the BCHL is probably their max. ECHL maybe but the travel costs would be pretty insane.
No chance for AHL. Maybe WHL but even then we don't have a proper arena.
Town has been pushing for a proper arena but noone wants to cough up the capital
Would the AHL work in Kelowna?
I heard talk a year or so ago of the Kootenay Ice possibly being on the move. The thing is Frank Crane is definitely a small arena, but for a WHL team its not impossible. I would prefer somebody step up with aN 8K-10k arena personally. Not only would that make a WHL team a lot easier to get, but also attract more concert draws.
Penticton has a beautiful 5500 seat arena would they work in the AHL. Potentially drawinging from kelowna and kamloops.
Nanaimo would not work. Not a big town, not a lot of population around it. I grew 25 mins up the highway and no one ever went to Clippers games even (Junior A).
They couldn't support a WHL team. Victoria seemed to have 2 choices, WHL or AHL. Their could have supported either, but the WHL is there now.
not big enough for the AHL and faaaar too remote.
Only would work as WHL.
