Quick Notes on the NAHL
In news I just recently discovered, the NAHL appears all but gone from the state Montana. The recent inability of the Billings Bull to sign a new agreement to play in the massive Metra Park arena has had clear implications to the future of junior hockey in the state. The NAHL board also approved the relocation of the Helena Bighorns to Taylor, MI starting next season. This leaves the Icedogs without instate opponents. The NAHL responded by firing back that because of insane travel distances, the Icedogs will most likely not play in NAHL again. Sad, especially because they finished second to Texas Tornado in the cup. The Valley Ice Gardens appear closer to being sold by owner Mr.Martel. A cronic money-loser, the arena has been on the selling block for a several years. A deal appears close with a prospective buyer who convert the gardens into a cold storage unit for Beer. This clearly puts hockey in jeopardy for Gallatin Valley. Good-bye Blackhawks, good-bye Hellcats. Nothing is certain yet about the Ice Gardens, but the future of the NAHL in Montana seems to nothing but the past.
