BTW, does anybody know what Heenan will be doing next year?
Just to keep up, this thread was hijacked back at post #27, the last time Heenan's name was mentioned in regards to his next job.
He'll need a few D-I transfers......winning the national championship.

Minor pro schedules are bi-modal in attempt to minimize the number of hotel nights for traveling teams into mid-week and weekend clusters. If the AHL is the primary tenant, then they'll dictate UC's available home dates. That being said ... enough NC teams want to play in front of a large crowd that it shouldn't be too big an obstacle. After all ... AHL teams are home - on average - only every other weekend.
Yes, it will probably mess up their schedule and force them to play a few games on the road. If I was Heenan, I'd be furious!
Yes, but Canucks’ assistant general manager, Laurence Gilman says in that article, in regard to scheduling issues with UC, "I haven’t really thought about it...... we will sit down with them [the Pioneers], take a look at their schedule.....and see how we can accommodate them." Not, work with. Not, coordinate. It's "we will see how (if?) we can accommodate them." I wonder if they have changed the locks on the Aud yet?
The Elmira experience was similar to what you are describing. As soon as pro hockey arrived, about one-third of the college fans never returned. Granted, the EC administration didn't help things any, but those fans who would rather see bellicose hockey and drink alcohol won't be inclined to attend both.
