6 Atlantic teams vs 12 Quebec teams. It's almost a shame there wasn't time (or even a desire) to get a team in Fredericton and/or Edmundston or even Saint Johns. If we could grow the Atlantic teams up enough to be a league of their own it might be better all around.

Edmundston has a brand new arena and with the success the Blizzard have there for attendance, it would mean a Q-team would do well, the league just has to be ready to expand and find an ownership group.
I remember seeing figures, if I am not mistaken, that would place them in the top 8 of the Q for attendance.
For Fredericton, think they have to start to think about an event centre Downtown, something along 5-6000 people range would be nice.
Truro could also be interesting for an expansion team.
St-john’s would be nice to have back in the Q, but what kills them is the cost and the time for travelling.
