This post was thrown in the middle of a topic and may not have received the attention it deserved. Hopefully Benny's post will shed some light on things, as I know many people are confused.

Here's what I can say right now. Remember, things are still evolving and as you all know, they will be announced when we feel absolutely confortable in its validity.

The XIHL has absolutely no affiliation with MLRH.

The only official affiliation that XIHL currently has is with the three individual founding members.

XIHL, a full-contact, AAA inline hockey league is not the only property that AIHP is developing. We have a number of short-term and long-term plans. We believe that there is definitely a market for both a full-contact and a non-check elite roller hockey league.

The most important thing that I can't stress enough is that the reason Charlie, Steve and myself have decided to work together is that we share the same vision about the future of the sport. We also share the same level of committment in maintaining very high standards in whatever we do.

This announcement is only the first of many more to come. If you want to be the first on your block to get the latest news, sign-up for the XIHL Newsletter or keep your dial tuned to this station.

Good call on this Anthony.

I guess what was expected was something more than the League can give us for now. Same teams, same area, just a new league with a new name. I am hoping that the three can elevate the league to another level and expand in other area's.
