American Hockey League: Who will get there first?

[Laramie]

Who do you think will make it to AAA first?

Oklahoma City or Tulsa?

I personally think that Tulsa will get there first.

Bob Funk, owner of the Blazers doesn't want to move up to the American Hockey League because of the rivalry we have with Tulsa--so he says!

The American Hockey League (AAA) is seriously thinking of moving toward the Midwest.

With new arenas in Omaha, Tulsa, Oklahoma City, and one getting ready to go up in Wichita, the midwest looks very juicy.

I believe that Des Moines and Quad Cities (Moline) currently have teams in the AHL.

A better grade of hockey would be great.

I love the game, but the Central League players are a few steps below what the NHL has. The game is much slower.

Absolutely.

But Lund will fight it every step of the way.  If the AHL is here, he won't be part of it, because of his lack of spending for the team.

The Fabulous Ford Center brought out the best in Oklahoma City as the BOK Center will do in Tulsa.

When Tulsa and/or Oklahoma City joins the AHL' there are teams in Houston and San Antonio.

The BOK Center will be rocking!

A few steps below the NHL...

The CHL has stepped off the turnip wagon onto the watermelon patch.  It isn't worthy of beinng classified as AA.
