Yeah, we heard you the first time.

As soon as both threads get deleted, you'll have to post two more. You're going to be a busy guy!

Look for this thread -- or it's twin -- in the rumor forum directly.

Nonetheless, I'm not sure why Evansville would be the determining factor in an IHL franchise for Indianapolis. As long as the Indiana Ice USHL franchise remains at the Fairgrounds, there's no reason to think the IHL could get back into Indy. As successful as the Ice are, I think they'll be there for years to come. And I'm sure the price to put a team in Conseco would far exceed what an IHL team could afford and still be profitable.

Why would the IHL admit a member who plays in a rec rink? The new Evansville building, for which the Icemen DO NOT have a lease, might not even being open by then. (And I'm betting the Icemen don't get the lease for that building anyway.) The ONLY way the IHL admits Evansville while they're still playing in Swonder, is having the need for the extra warm body, after they lose Musky and Flint after this season. Hell, maybe they'll take Battle Creek too.

May I ask where Muskegon is going?
