The hockey community has been asked to complete a survey on SKY?s behalf. They need 500 responses minimum so please fill it out and get others to do so as well.
To complete the survey please go to http://www.nzihl.com
Hi,
to clarify, the survey is to get an idea of who likes hockey in NZ and get some feedback on the league. We can all guess who the audience is, but we don’t know for sure.
Basically the more people who respond, the more likely we are to get sponsorship.
Please pass it around to any fans of the game, whether they like the NZIHL or not. The more people who respond the better it will be for NZ ice hockey.
NZIHL summer would kill or severly maim the Southern contingent in NZIHL in my opinion.
Given well over half the Thunder squad are Students, their playing stocks would be severely reduced.
The cost of keeping the Queenstown rink open over the summer is quite expensive and hasn’t been done in a couple of years.
So Dunedin wouldn’t have enough players and Queenstown wouldn’t have ice. I don’t think many of the Queenstown players would be keen on travelling to Dunedin to play/practise, so you would end up with maximum 1 team from Southern, but more likely no teams…..I understand the want to do, so the top guys are coming out of tough competition into world champs.
If money was no object, I think ideal solution would be for Australian and NZ comps to run as is, and then in the summer months, IB contenders (+extras) form two teams, one from north island and south island, and they play in new trans-tasman comp during the Summer. With the new kiwi teams picked from NZIHL.The Problem with putting two NZ teams into Australian comp, is I don’t see the Talent pool being able to sustain a viable comp that people would want to watch, if you take out the top 60 players.
Just my opinions……
