The only way for a team to guarantee making money from the Herder this year is to NOT be in it. Bizarre!

Just to ask in years gone by Herder goes two three two...As I understand March 30, 31 and April 1 dates at Mile One.
I don't think anyone was surprised by this as it was quite clear the Cataracts didn't have any support in this matter (it doesn't help when you are the most despised team in senior hockey but I digress). We've heard "in the best interests of the league" countless times but I guess that depends on where you live and who's interests are being best looked out for. There truly are no winners in this because no matter what the outcome someone was going to feel the wrong decision was made. My take on it is this. The Blades and Ceebees definitely want the games played at the bigger venues because they are hurting at the gate and could definitely use the funds (if there's any to be had). The Bous probably don't care one way or the other but probably feel a sense of loyality to MP and CBN as they were the original members of this league anyway and you can't fault them for that. Royals really have nothing to complain about as they are the only ones who get to play in their own barn if they make it and still get a cut if they don't so it's a win win for them. I could be totally wrong but that's how I see it.
As a Cataract fan it sucks because I know this will have an adverse effect on the team going forward. As I tried to explain in another thread the biggest downfall will be lost of holding seats next season which is a very important revenue source for the Cats. This has nothing to do with the fans "turning their backs" on the team. It's simply a case of a service which was once being of value no longer holding the same value. When it comes to the regular season, there's no trouble getting a couple seats anytime. Playoffs are a different story and that's where the value is and also why at least 3/4 of fans purchase them. With no possibility of seeing championship games at the Joe (IF the team gets there of course) people won't see the value in them.
Will I still go to the games,absolutely and I believe most still will if there is anything to go see. Will I buy my two holding seats next year? Probably not because I really can't see paying $150 for one round of playoffs max. Seeing the Herder games at the Joe last year justified why I spent that money for those years but right now I don't know. Again, this has nothing to do with abandoning the team as I have supported them since day one and will continue to do so.

So games 3-5 are the weekend of March 31? Would have to play three then if all at Mile One otherwise you have an issue with game 7 the next weekend. Fair enough though creates a challenge for teams flying in imports who work to get them in for a Thursday game.Silverhawk wrote:I just looked on the mile one website... for ice cap games
