There won’t be any crushingÂ checks on the blue lines nor play on the boards in Prince Rupert in 2007-08. The CIHL has expanded by two teams and Prince Rupert has once again decided to not join the loop for the next season.

It would be really nice for a CIHL team to call Rupert home, but we can barely keep minor hockey going… I don’t know how an outfit of that calibre would do here. The arena would need some major seating upgrades, and a lot of crowd control if we’d get competative hockey here… there’s enough problems with drunk and beligerent idiots watching rec league games.
