[QUOTE="Beerfalo, post: 676172, member: 71326"] Naming all these players makes me really frustrated we don't have a better system for them to develop in. The CRC is cool and a decent level but it's only 6 games a season. If only we could see a return of the RCSL even if it was only regional. Something like a Western League with a BC Conference of Vancouver Island(Victoria), Vancouver, Fraser Valley(Abbotsford), Okanagan/Kootenays/Interior(Kelowna) and a Prairie Conference of Edmonton, Calgary, Saskatchewan(Regina) and Manitoba(Winnipeg). Travel costs definitely favor BC over the Prairies in this scenario though. The East league could have an Ontario Conference with three Southern Ontario teams and Ottawa and an Eastern Conference with Quebec(Montreal), New Brunswick/PEI(Fredericton), Nova Scotia(Halifax) and Newfoundland(St. John's). Or maybe Four Southern Ontario teams in one conference and then Eastern Ontario(Ottawa), Quebec(Montreal), Maritimes(Fredericton/Halifax) and The Rock(St. John's) in the other? Just like in the West with BC, Ontario would have the travel advantage. Play all the teams in your Conference Home and Away and then two Home and two Away games with the other conference. So Edmonton Gold would play Calgary, Saskatchewan and Manitoba home and away and then host Vancouver and Kelowna while traveling to Victoria and Abbotsford. The next year they'd host Victoria and Abbotsford while traveling to Vancouver and Kelowna. That would give 10 games against the best players the other Unions have to offer. Playoffs would start with 1vs 4 and 2 vs 3 in each conference and go from there. That would give a minimum of 11 games against the best players the other Unions have to offer. I wouldn't do cross league play except for a home and home final between the two champions. OF COURSE THE LACK OF MONEY RUINS MY AWESOME PLANS ONCE AGAIN AND I'M NOW SAD AT WHAT CAN'T BE!!! I'd definitely offer TSN broadcasting rights and only request some help with travel costs. IF a competition could get on TV and hyped up then I could see sponsors wanting to get involved but it's nothing but an unrealistic dream of mine :(. [/QUOTE]
