It is a pity and a shame to see such poor attendance at the games. Since the League re-vamped itself to 4 baymen teams at the expense of the 2 townie teams, there hasn't been a sold out game! It's really pathetic in Corner Brook; there are more silly coloured seats visable than fans. The league would not survive if it wasn't for the imports and the townies who jump on a bus or fly out each weekend. There are not enough local players in any of these towns skilled enough to play on the teams. The teams are broke (except GFW I think) and the league is mismanaged. It will be interesting to see how it will re-invent itself after this season and the hype (or lack of) the Allan Cup is over and forgotten.

Hey outsider, just imagine if the AESHL drew a couple of thousand fans a week lol.. You guys would be beside yourself .. sure you wouldnt need the big payday from the herder farce to stay afloat.. i see the Icecaps arent selling out either , guess the novelty wears off everything .. oh & by the way one townie team ,the ceebees certainly arent a townie team lol... sure you guys turned on your own when you would give mount pearl & the ceebees a game of hockey lol... pitiful .. stay tuned ...

Hahaha baymen teams, GFW is one of the most centrally located towns on the island, and ganders pretty close too. Good try though bud, happy Friday.

Hahaha baymen teams. None of these teams are "baymen teams". Every team is in a large center (Clarenville, Gander, GFW, Corner Brook) so I wouldn't consider any of the teams "baymen teams". There may be some players from down the bay somewhere but other than that, no. :lol:
