Stretching West, Geneva, IL

Geneva, IL

Fox Valley Ice Arena
Seats 2,500
Population: 400k in the county, its a suburb of Chicago.

I have always thought single A will need to become a regional affair. Four to six team divisions that mostly play against each other and meet only for the play-offs. Much like the ECHL, only the teams that can afford to travel would be asked to. Or, teams can offer to pay a percentage of the other teams travel costs to bring them over.

Perhaps throw together a Danville(IL) , Geneva (IL), St Charles (MO) and Madison (WI) division. Those last two rinks are a little bigger then needed, but potential to draw is better as well.
