SiouxVolley Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 The Islander’s new practice facility looks to have some significant seating in one of the arenas. It is located in western Nassau county, a relatively short distance to the new Islanders arena being constructed at Belmont Park in Queens near the Nassau county line. The recent DI move for the Post campus of LIU could have a DI men’s team there. LIU-Brooklyn earlier announced a women’s team apparently to play in the Bronx. The LIU campuses will be united under one LIU flag. LIU would be a perfect fit for the Atlantic Hockey Conference. http://www.andrusarchitecture.com/northwell-health-ice-center.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nodak651 Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Or like this - throw enough theories out there and eventually he can tell everyone he was right. Still like his commentary though. Moves will eventually be made. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s only your tiny brain because you only deal in linear concepts, not mulidimensional ones. Saw your blog on the NCHC being so wise not to accept Ariz St. Only a moron would state that when they get a 4000 seat arena. It not worth explaining anything to you be cause you have the patience of a two year old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiouxVolley Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Oakland U has supposedly passed the NHL feasibility study with flying colors. But the AD has left Oakland so the project was put on hold for funding an on campus arena and finding a conference. https://oaklandpostonline.com/22414/sports/hockey-feasibility-study-shows-oakland-pass-with-flying-colors/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that arena doesn’t sell, will it be demolished? Think of the curtains that would be needed. Huge facility almost like the now departed SilverDome. Would Oakland play in the WCHA? Or later add Oakland and Bowling Green to the NCHC? Detroit would be by far the biggest metro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cberkas Posted November 3, 2018 Author Share Posted November 3, 2018 Most likely WCHA would be where Oakland will end up. I could see them wanting to be in the NCHC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiouxVolley Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 Here’s another article that says Oakland buying the Palace won’t happen. But the author seems totally unaware that Oakland needs an arena to start hockey. The Palace of Auburn Hills is just a couple of miles from campus. https://www.theoaklandpress.com/sports/pat-caputo---the-palace-oakland-university-and-why/article_aebe95f6-db90-11e8-94ab-af08ca279493.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlphaMikeFoxtrot Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 Beer league friend was in San Jose for his son's tournament and heard that Fresno State used one of the NHL sponsored feasibility studies. Pure gossip but you never know. Would have expected the city to have an AHL team by now after the California relocation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the few NHL teams that play at the same place as their AHL team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Selland Arena downtown (7000) or the Save Mart Arena on campus (13,000?) Fresno St wants and needs a conference where it on par with PAC 12 schools. San Jose St doesn’t have money or boosters and San Diego St badly needs football facilities. Fresno St might be the best hockey option in California outside the PAC schools.

SiouxVolley Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Article of what potential uses and benefits to Oakland U if they buy the huge Palace of Auburn Hills. https://www.detroitnews.com/story/sports/college/2018/10/26/paul-oakland-universitys-potential-uses-palace-limitless-and-mysterious/1775464002/ Gores the Detroit Pistons owner may actually gift the Palace and come out better on his taxes, as the cost of demolishing it would be huge. Other potential owners want the land, not an arena. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
