Mike - These teams were in the Western Hockey League (or something like that) until a couple of years ago, and if I remember were going to disbandon, but got overtures from the ECHL to merge. Being a minor league, the eastern teams make only one trip to the west and the western teams make only one trip to the east each season. Even then can you imagine making a trip from say Wheeling to Anchorage!!!!! 73's Bob Pietsch Mike Brooker wrote: Alaska Aces 750 - KFQD - Anchorage AK Idaho Steelheads 1350 - KTIK - Nampa ID Phoenix RoadRunners 1100 - KFNX - Cave Creek AZ Utah Grizzlies 1230 - KJQS - Murray UT Bakersfield Condors 1230 - KGEO - Bakersfield CA Fresno Falcons 1550 - KXEX - Fresno CA San Diego Gulls 1360 - KLSD - San Diego CAThey're all in the EAST COAST Hockey League? I didn't know that San Diego was an east coast city! Makes about as much sense as the Vancouver Canucks being in the NHL's East Division (which they were, as a first-year expansion team in 1970-71) 73 Mike Brooker Toronto, ON _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list IRCA@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://arizona.hard-core-dx.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: irca@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx |
