A Twitter poll?  And who decides the seedings and who plays who?  

Not necessarily the same exact methods. But a bracket-style tournament format would generate more attention and interest. You could have promoted it on the Heraldo web site, this forum, the Alumni Association could have helped as well. And it would make the whole process entertaining instead of all the committees and their watching-paint-dry entertainment quality meetings.

So what happens when SunDogs faces RoughRiders in the opening round and SunDogs moves on?

The Seattle NHL season ticket drive reached 33,000 sold before the drive was stopped Friday afternoon.  Some are just partial season tickets as the capacity of the new Key Arena is 17k.  They started a wait list for people that were late.

Maybe the NHL will be sufficiently satisfied that Seattle will sell out.

Bring the Sonics back too.

The OVG group that is remodeling/rebuilding Key Arena intends to bid on a new NBA team.  The NBA arena proposed by the Hanson group is still far from being approved.  The prospective Seattle NHL owners have vowed they wouldn’t pick the Green and Yellow colors of the Sonics, as that is reserved for them.

I would hate to see any other nickname and color scheme for a Seattle NBA team.

"Toronto 2" would be dumb, in my opinion.

Greater Toronto has more than double the hockey fans of the New York area, which has three teams.  It would suck for QC if they get bypassed again, but money has a way of talking.

Seems like Seattle is making front office moves, even though the NHL has not granted a team yet.

As long as Pierre Karl Peladeau is in the mix QC will continue to be on the outside looking in.
