SPHL, ECHL or CHL?

Gaining teams is growth, which the SPHL has done, or am I missing something? Gaining even 1 team is growth not just movement.

Yes you are, first year as SPHL there were 8 teams. This year 7 teams, any questions?

I guess it depends on what you are looking for...quality or quantity. The SPHL with 7 teams is leaps and bounds a stronger league today than they were in year 1. That's quite obvious since 4 of the 8 are gone except technically Jacksonville is still a part of this league only on suspension. For what it's worth, the chairman of the board for the SPHL said there will be for sure 1 new team next year with possibly 3 coming in on tonight's Knoxville coach's show. The SPHL is very healthy...

You had not better let a certain owner of another board hear you say that. :-()

Volstate i was not trying to pick a fight or be rude in any way, just stating facts. Danny stated that the league was growing and by looking at the history that doesn't appear to be the case. I do hope that the league grows and turns into a reputable name. I also wish the Icegators would turn things around, on and off the ice, to become a permanent fixture in Lafayette.

I don't care what owner hears what. In fact I think Smith likes us talking both positive and negative about the team. He is really doing his best to right the ship and likes constructive criticism. Without that he doesn't know what is wrong and how to go about changing things. This board is uncensored unless you want to engage in vulgar ugly attacks against its members. Anything goes besides that.

I think you missed the tongue-in-cheek aspect of my remark. The owner of "that other board" thinks and preaches that the CHL is God's gift to the hockey world, to the point of being obsessed. You can really get a good hissy-fit out of him if you say anything bad about the CHL.

Okay gotcha. I didn't want anyone to think they had to watch what they say because this board is independent of the IceGators and anything goes accept for the things I've mentioned a million times.
