It calls to question whether Leblanc/Ice Arizona ever intended to put for an honest effort to lay hockey roots in Arizona or if they were just incompetent and weren't fit to manage a minor league hockey team, let alone a NHL one. IceArizona's efforts seem less like a plant sending down a deep taproot to keep itself established through dry spells in a precipitation-limited land and more like a tumbleweed that will dry up and just tumble away. So far, it looks like they just helicoptered in and are operating in a little Ontario bubble, not trying to establish a successful Jamestown in the desert (as it stands, it looks like it's on the course of a Roanoke). Big time stage, small time minds.
