I hate seeing programs disappear and feel for the Vipers, but continuing to hang on without a home is a huge problem imo, like Aviators. Give it up at some point. The kids will find a home. I feel that it should be a requirement that your program has an ADM program in order to compete at Nationals or PAHL playoffs. Having all these programs just take the work of what other organizations are doing just isn't right. It might curb the I am going to spring up my own team over here because I am butt hurt you didn't put my super star on team 1 problem, too.

No, this monopoly is definitely not a good idea for the consumer. They never are. Notice how they buy up a bunch of rinks in an area so they have enough market control. Then, they move on to the next area. After they buy enough there they will head to the next area,.... Not good in my opinion. Seems they usually come in and raise prices. If you look at their older rinks out towards Philadelphia, they are in rough shape after years of ownership. I would rather have hockey people that care come in and buy the rinks and actually mamagi them. Great example is Baierl and Jim Black. Hockey guy came in, bought a rink that was going into shambles. He really did amazing things there and I do appreciate it. The current ownership of Frozen Pond also put a lot of time and money into that rink as well. It has come a long way. Some of the BB rinks in Philly I have been to look like they get minimum to maintenance.
