Monday News
| Rumors have run rampant in the Grand Forks Herald and Fargo Forum that the USHL will return to Fargo in a $30M, 5,000 seat arena to be built on the southwest side of town. The main driver for the concept appears to be former UND coach Dean Blais. More will be revealed at a press conference February 22nd. Related local TV news clip. Thanks to Chris Dilks for the initial heads up on this... More rumblings on the possible relocation of the Prince George Cougars... The Estevan Bruins are getting a little help (no pun intended) from Gary Bettman as part of an effort to get a new arena built... Jay Skurski asks why western New York can't keep it's top talent. Well, I don't see the USHL or NAHL moving that far east, or the EJHL/AJHL that far west. You've got a shot at an OHL team, but that doesn't help Niagara or Canisius much... |

post a commentCan Fargo/Morehead support two Junior A teams? Is there any news or rumors that the Jets (NAHL) will stay or move??
Speaking of the USHL's footprint, would the addition of Fargo be expanding that footprint too much, or is it really not stretching it at all? I realize that Fargo is basically no further west than any other USHL city, but it is further north. Also, would a Fargo USHL team be a new franchise or a relocation of an existing franchise?
Pardon my lack of knowledge, but is that Rochester, Minnesota?
I believe that all the existing rights on paper have been exhausted. I'll have to check that against my USHL media guide. Thunder Bay, I think, became Tri-City. I think Rochester's (yes, Minnesota) rights were used somewhere as well, maybe Danville, but I'll check it tonight.
Marc, Ohio is Thunder Bay
Tri-City used to be Twin City Vulcans.
Mervis has the rights to the Rochester franchise and was trying to get them into Champaign.
