How is the 2,000 dollars going to be spent? If you expect that kind of money with little legitimacy, most people will want to know where all of their money is going.

Are you going to help secure some of these leases? Sometimes upstart organizations have problems getting a lease on a building that size and it would be a shame that a team with potential to be popular does not play because of lease problems.

Where will the gate money go? Does the league get a cut of the ticket sales? If so, how much

Are you going to have a supplier deal? having an offical supplier for the entire league would be more cost effective as it help get teams merchandise to sell and help pay for operation costs as well as provote another way of advertisement (ie people pay money to wear a shirt with your name on it. they would be like a walking billboard for the team)

How are you going to handle the teams? Will there be a draft? if so, is the draft going to be like the RHI draft was?

Cali, sorry it took me so long to reply as i've been away in Toronto this weekend. Teams can play in whatever size seating capacity it can get in their arena. Whether it is 100 seats to 10,000 seats. It makes no diference to me, And yes I do know I said 1,000-5,000 seats but exceptions can always be made.

As for gate money, each team will keep all money made from ticket sales. In no way, shape or form will the league ever get any percentage from ticket sales.

Each team will be responsible for filling out their roster. Their will be no draft held.

As for suppliers, I am looking into that right now and hopefully I will find out something soon.

Finally , the $2,000 will go towards promotion of the league through different media sources, league banners for each teams home rink, league patches for each players jersey, championship and individual trophies.

I hope this answers all your questions.
