Thank you for following along. I get where you are coming from on the hockey divisions and I am not sure exactly why our commissioner went in the direction he did. However, I will say the NHL division structure in this era made zero sense geographically. For example the Adams Division had Toronto, Boston, Buffalo and California in it. Our NAHC divisions are aligned by location a lot better but yes I agree it would make sense to flip Atlanta and Cincinnati.

As for the CHL, the WHA had a Canadian Division plus an east and west. My guess is our commissioner wanted Ottawa and Winnipeg together since they had a decent rivalry going but I am not certain that was the reason. The real WHA had some weird ones too like Chicago was in the East and the Michigan Stags were in the West.

I am right there with you on Pittsburgh. Losing the Miners was something I hated to see and really rubs salt in the wound if their FBL team ends up in New Jersey.

Lane State had some great runs in college basketball and became a team I followed very closely. That whole conference (West Coast Athletic Association) has enjoyed some great success on the court.
