Surely the river center would charge significantly more to lease so not so fast. They need much more than 700.


I’d imagine so, but the point was that the FPHL operates on a VERY small budget compared to the ECHL. Also, Barry Soskin is probably the right guy to bring a team here and sustain it for a while.

If we had 700 season ticket seats paid for year in and year out, we probably hit 1000-1500 paid in most games and higher in any playoff game. I’d think that’s lowballing, too.

Soskin knows what he’s doing. He sees profit here. Or just loves hockey enough to make it work.

I.E. the league sucks. It was such a disappointment this wasn’t the ECHL trying to expand back into the area when this news broke last year. ECHL hockey was GOAT
