It's funny I was thinking about that yesterday. But I guess I was more in the line of cities without an NHL team.
Could a Canadian league, not including the NHL cities, survive or would that just be seen as an AHL lookalike. How would that effect the junior CHL?.
Just for a laugh here is the list of our 14 biggest hockey seating arenas (via Wikipedia) not in the NHL. Aside from travel concerns, not a bad start, only PEI, Manitoba and Alberta not listed and there are three NHL teams represented there.
Quebec City 18,259
Hamilton 17,383
Saskatoon 15,195
Halifax 10,595
Laval 10,000
London 9,100
Moncton 8,800
Kitchener 7,268
Victoria 7,006
Abbotsford 7,000
Windsor 6,500
Saint John 6,308
St. John's 6,247
