cberkas Posted June 24 Posted June 24 Not sure where the junior stuff was originally posted. Looks to be no team in Vegas/Nevada as originally reported The Phoenix team is interesting on where they will play. Mullett Arena is a no, the new Fire and Ice arena is going to have a NA3HL team and small for a USHL team. The NBA arena is a possibility, I guess. Desert Diamond Arena, according to people in the know, removed their ice plant but they might still have it. The expand NCAA part of me would like to see a 4000-5000 seat arena by GCU at the old Metrocenter Mall. Quote
siouxfaninseattle Posted June 25 Posted June 25 Seems pretty ambitious, adding 6 teams to a league that last expanded in 2014. Hopefully it succeeds. Quote
cberkas Posted July 5 Author Posted July 5 So, a new Tier 1 league called the US Development League/National Development League or NDL is starting for U15 and U17. Sounds like it will line up with the NTDP. Very interesting. Quote

Yes and no, an advisor group did a video on it explaining how it’s going to work. Doesn’t sound like anyone has applied to have a team yet. For example there could be a Fargo Force U15 and U17 team (have to have both). SSM could apply to have a team but be denied. https://youtu.be/En_roIjQ9DA?is=ZBwbnlmLmszCDP7y Quote
