Just F.Y.I...
I think the interest is already there! The U. of Arizona Icecats (A.C.H.A.
Division I) rank near the top of attendance polls, year in and year out -
for ALL of college hockey! Arizona's average attendance - more than 6,000
per game - is on par with all the top draws in college hockey. And their
rink, the Tuscon Convention Center (a.k.a. "The Madhouse on Main Street")
rivals any college arena in the country. Likewise, I understand other
teams like Arizona State and a few in California and Florida, also draw
well...
The interest is definitely there. But then again there's lots of interest
and little action in other places too...
