Re: Finally it has been done. The Federal League is Real!

I don't get why anyone outside of friends and family (and random folks who just show up to get drunk and watch fights) could possibly care about this league. It was a bad idea to begin with, considering the all the good amateur hockey surrounding it. I'll be amazed if it still exists next year.

The leading scorer for Cape Cod that night was Billy Tibbetts who had an astounding 12 points and a +13 +/-. In reading his bio, I would be scared to be on the ice with this fella. He is the modern day Ogie Oglethorpe (he was even banned from Canada once).

The first PP was only :10 long. Probably only got off 3 or 4 shots!

A little more on the Vermont Wild. The team was originally going to play at the hockey facility at Jay Peak with the projected market being Quebec which is only a few miles away. I have no idea what the Jay Peak arena looks like but for some reason it didn't work out there and the team was moved to the high school rink in Morrisville which is a small town near Stowe. Morrisville market was much too small and the not many fans showed up for games to cover the team payroll of $5,000 a week plus expenses. The team ceased operation sometime around Christmas. I thought the team and league would be a good testing ground for some of the D3 and D1 players in the area. The play was much more offensive then what you generally see in college hockey where defense is key. The owner is a nice guy but had a very poor business plan.
