So apperantly we'll be having a new hockey league starting this season that will be based on all Canadian teams. Pro hockey minus over priced snotty players? Or the CFL on ice?

if you want that calibre of play can't you just go to a Vancouver Giants game - that's basically what it's going to be, major junior turned into Pro hockey.

i think u're thinking about a new hockey league being started by bobby hull. He's actually just resurecting the WHA. it's inauguration will be when the collective bargaining agreement ends in the NHL. I personally see it as a bust......... and also it's not going ot be strictly limited to canada.

No it will be a pro league as in not junior. So the players will be in the 19+ versus the junior league. It wouldn't be NHL hockey but could be at a pretty high level.
