League dues, travel pay to WF for this season...

I gotta damn near bet on the Tornado being back next season...

What would the South be without another team from Texas...
(No smart ass remarks on this, I'm serious!)

Besides all that, we need "Bid Toe" and Netty back in our barn for play by play for the Homeies back in Texas...



EDIT: Don't wait for next season, you guys are welcome anytime...

MC's buying the beer!

Hill is still on the protected list, but Fargo is having another camp starting tomorrow. Blais was quoted as saying there will be 120 kids at camp and there are 13 open roster spots. I just read that McColgan is at the Kelowna Rockets main camp, guess that tells you something

There is no doubt he's going to end up with Kelowna. But he can only play in 5 or 6 games in the WHL with his current age.

Here are my thoughts on attendance and the cats. First i am not a business owner nor have i ever been. so my ideas my not be the best but IMHO... We currently have the third highest attendance in the NAHL. Could it be better, yes. Here is what you do. Every game take 1000 tickets to the Base and give them to the students, provide city busses if the base busses dont want to run. Give 1000 tickets to the school district/boys clubs/ymca/anyplace there might be underprivd kids. Thats 2000 tickets given away. If you get 50% turn out thats an additional 1000 people in the stands buying cokes and popcorn. Plus you still have plenty of room for the paying customer. I realize some who might pay will try to get the free tickets, I still think you come out ahead. Plus anytime you get 3000 people in the KYC having the time of their life yelling and screaming, others will want to join in. I think most of those who pay for tickets right now will continue to do so, but we have such a large untapped source that just needs to be looked at.

Madcatter, the giveaways make it look good on paper, but that is the approach the Rustler's owner took, and we all know how that turned out. The team gets nothing off concessions-- that goes to the city.

I agree about the good crowds being contagious, and if we could get a few more people back to the games, then everybody wins.
