That's pretty cool. I wonder if they're also going "retro" for the game...

The Pats used that logo until last year, but it's still their oldest logo

Really? That's a sharp logo. I think it'd be awesome if they went retro, too, but I doubt it.

I wonder how long it will be to have all three of the OHL WHL and QMJHL to all have out door games all on the same day, maybe they should do this for hockey day in Canada. Here is what I do if that ever happened, have one game on the East coast at 1:00pm then have an OHL game at 7:00pm and then wrap up the day with one in the WHL.

That's a damn good plan. I think I'd move the OHL game up to like 4PM, that way there'd be 9 hours of hockey uninterrupted.

That's a great idea. I think any of these cities would make ideal hosts. If they have (or build) the proper facility

QMJHL: Halifax, Moncton, Montreal, Quebec, St.John's -Not sure about St.John's, but all the other cities have football stadiums.

OHL: Kitchener, London, Oshawa, Ottawa, Peterborough, Saginaw, Soo, Windsor- Ottawa, Windsor, London have football stadiums for sure, the rest I'm not sure.

WHL: Brandon, Edmonton, Saskatoon, Spokane -Brandon I know would have to build some sort of temporary stadium, which could easily be done up to about 10,000 seats. Edmonton an Saskatoon have football satdiums. Being an American city, I'm sure Spokane has a 30,000 seat high school football stadium. :P

I live in London and all they have is a football stadium that seats about 3,000 for the University of Western Ontario and the arena where the Knights play seats about 9,100

"T.D. Waterhouse offers a CFL regulation-size Astroturf System 12 playing surface, with a 2" rubberized e-layer, and is bordered by an eight lane 400 metre mondo track. The 1000 lumens lighting is perfect for television coverage and for evening events. Spacious change rooms with shower facilities, equipment, training and referee rooms, address most of the needs of the athletes, and seating is available for 8,000 spectators, with concession and vending services also provided."

Could temporary, extra seating be installed? That's the question. If they could squeeze in another 2,000 seats, I think it's be a great location. Have the Knights play the Rangers maybe?

Is there potential for temporary seating? Like metal bleachers or something?


Yeah there is but they would probably want the seating to be at or more than the John Labatt Center and I don't think they would have enough space for about temporary seating like 7,000 extra seats.

That's pretty cool. And I wouldn't be surprised at all to see the teams do Retro jerseys or something along those lines. They do it more then you would think in the WHL and they always sell the jerseys after to make money for some kind of charity or fund. I think another good one would be Kelowna vs Vancouver at BC place. Can hold up to 60,000 I believe.

If there's one thing I love about the CHL, it's the abundance of vintage jersey nights that end in charity-benefiting auctions.

If I still lived 40-ish minutes from Norfolk I would kill a man to attend that game.

that is one sexy beast of a logo.

as for the jerseys. Calgarys is pretty bad ass, Montreals is a bit of a let down. if they hadnt blow all the different designs for the 100th anniversary thing it would be more fun
