Another interesting post on the BCHL. We have all seen lots of these but they all talk about the players and how this change can/will affect them. I have seen no articles on the financial/business side of this decision. I would be interested to hear comments from that side as it was rumored that the decision to leave Hockey Canada was not unanimous. Costs have gone up substantially and not every team has owners with deep pockets, some are even community owned. I hear the cost for on ice officials, Refs & Linesmen, have increased to close to double from last years. What is the financial viability of this new league going forward, especially if recruiting high end players becomes a challenge? Anyone with insights?
