Wow, thas amazing. I never thought A hockey team would start an auction for the franchise. I dont know any body who has got 2.5 million to buy the franchise but, hey I think he or she whos buy the franchise should attempt to get in the NHL. I dont know why there isnt a team from Alaska in the NHL but there are teams from Canada. |

We don't really have the population base to maintain a major league team for any sport. Alaska has less than a million people statewide, and maybe a third or so live in Anchorage. Not enough to guarantee enough ticket sales to keep a major sports team going. Heck, that's one of the reasons the AA hockey team went belly up. Well, that and some mismanagements and a couple of terrible seasons. |

Hey that Auction has reached itself to my local radio station. Any body here ever heard of the "Walton and Johnson Morning Show"? |
