Novel way to raise funds to help employees
You can't make this up...
Navy plays hockey in the Atlantic Coast Collegiate Hockey League. Their playoff champion wins, get this...The Admiral's Cup.
So, I'm thinking they either go straight into the playoffs after a short "retraining camp" period using win percentage for everyone for the standings or they cancel the remainder of the season including the playoffs.
So, you're not willing to consider a third alternative: The NHL & AHL merge into a North American hockey superleague, with a relegation scheme that would make all the Euro members of this Board jealous beyond measure?So, I'm thinking they either go straight into the playoffs after a short "retraining camp" period using win percentage for everyone for the standings or they cancel the remainder of the season including the playoffs.
Your superleague proposal is great when the rangers get relegated to the minors next season. MSG will be a great place to develop the next generation of Hartford superstars.So, you're not willing to consider a third alternative: The NHL & AHL merge into a North American hockey superleague, with a relegation scheme that would make all the Euro members of this Board jealous beyond measure?
OK, then, back to the All-Ads League proposal.
Well, I will say this: Every hockey team I'VE ever seen play under the "Admirals" name has looked like they were a pickup team ...How about this, players can go to any team they like at any time. Play as many games as they want or do not want, basically making it a pick-up league? All called Admirals.
Most players contracts are up in July. Do those ALH/NHL players not play for the teams they are on?
How is free agency going to work if they do decide to play in either league this season for playoffs?
Or illness.LeBrun reiterated in his Athletic article today that the AHL's season is done. (Especially as the NHL team may need "taxi squad" of dozens in case of injury) ...
The end is near?
I'm inclined to think the odds of that are slim. It's gonna take a huge blockade to stop the NHL armada from cruising into an arena(s) near you for whatever season-end/playoffs assault they have in mind. The official AHL season cancellation just gives the NHL teams participating a larger roster to work with.... Have to think the NHL might follow suit.
I am pretty sure the XL Center will have to close for significant work/renovation's eventually but the relationship with Hartford and the Ranger's seems like its on good terms. XL Center could be an option if NHL restarts and the New York Rangers need a place to skateThis could be a worrisome scenario for Utica and Binghamton, not as concerned for Hartford. Utica and Binghamton I am sure wont get a "free Pass" on what they are required to fork over to Newark and Vancouver but then again I am not familiar with their contract agreements. What I do know is those two buildings are among the smallest and then throw in distance guidelines regarding crowds then it just throws all into question. Those two clubs it would seem face an uncertain "immediate" situation but then again it's up to the people behind the scenes to figure it out.
Utica seems to be strong and stable according to TSN 1340 Vancouver as long as Esche and the Canucks choose to stay the course from what outgoing president Dave Andrews statedThis could be a worrisome scenario for Utica and Binghamton, not as concerned for Hartford.
