I was talking to a professor at work, and he is originally from Arizona. He speaks with family that are hockey fans of the Coyotes. Naturally the relocation has been brought up. He is very convinced that the Jets will return, and return soon, adding that it will be phoenix. So we started talking about an argument brought up by his brother. He said that the Arizona hockey association is just as big as ours. SO we were curious and went to both websites. The websites alone can tell you a story. See for yourself. www.azamateurhockey.org/league.php?scriptName=HOME&leagueID=10275www.hockeymanitoba.mb.ca/Personally I really like the "valuable" information the Arizona website gives ..(sarcasm)

According to the AZ website.... there are 9 hockey rinks in the entire state? (not counting Jobing.com it seems)
Man... I live in Moncton NB and there are 19 Arenas (with 24 total ice surfaces) within a two-hour radius of downtown. If you count the entire province, I would not be surprised if there are 60-70 ice surfaces......... and we are 2/3 the size of Arizona.
Yeah.... hockey can work in Arizona. Seems so popular.... *rolls eyes*

I went to school in the US for four years and I can tell you that most Americans think they have the biggest or best of everything. Whatever.
