WHAT'S HAPPENING ON CITIFIED VICTORIA
Anyone have any thoughts on why the TC has been putting in these anti ECHL columns the last couple of days? I mean are there really that many people that would rather watch WHL over ECHL? Why? I mean I love to see Victoria hang on to this train till we can have an AHL team. why go down in quality when you can look towards moving up?

Nothing anti-ECHL about them. Cleve Dheensaw is in my corner.
Great three pages of articles in Sundays' Monitor.
BTW, if anyone want to go to the Wednesday game drop into Soprano's any time (between 12noon and 2am) before 3pm Wednesday, and you can pick up tickets for just $12 for the game vs. Bakersfield on Wednesday, October 31st. They'll accept cash or Visa/MC/Amex/debit. That's a $9 savings off the walk-up SK ticket price.
Plus it gets better!
Your game ticket will also get you into Soprano's afterwards for an 80's dance party featuring The Usual Suspects, a great 80's rock cover band. Go here to listen to their fabulous sound: http://www.usual-sus....ca/default.asp
A Salmon Kings game for just $12, plus a FREE after-party! You can't beat that!

The Salmon Kings are playing exciting hockey this season. This is much better value that watching NHL hockey (the Vancouver Canucks) and paying $215.00 for similar seat at GM Place. Even tickets to see the Manitoba Moose are $35.00 dollars.

Kings lead the league. Our top scorer Milan Gajic just got called up to Houston of the AHL.
To coin a phrase, "Houston, they had a problem (with scoring)".

How does that work is there some sort of trade off between Houston and Winnipeg?

That is a great question G-Man. I do not believe he had any contractual obligation to either Vancouver or Winnipeg, so he was free to go to any AHL who wanted him? It's good that Milan has moved up the hockey latter, and his promotion should help the Salmon Kings in the long run to attract skilled players. Unfortunately at the moment the Salmon Kings are definitely missing his scoring touch and have lost 2 of their last 3 games since he has left.

Are mid season departures a common occurrence in the ECHL?

The leading scorer in the league is bound to leave.
Any AHL team that wanted him can have him, if he wants to go. No ECHL team would block the move, the key to recruiting is showing the ability of your players to move up.

That's bizarre.
I would have thought they'd have contracts for an entire year and could be free to leave once their contract expired. So any player who starts to show an ability above that of the average ECHL player is bound to leave mid-season?
Not to rag on the Salmon Kings, but it's lame to see a team start doing well and then falter after the star player picks up his bags and takes off.

It used to happen alot back when the WHL was more of a direct feeder to NHL. They'd call up drafted players.
It works the other way too. For example, Manitoba (AHL) sent us two defencemen this week, as we were down to just 5.

5-1 win tonight at home against one of the weaker teams in our conference (Utah). But we are on one heck of a roll.

Have we seen an increase in fan support to correspond to the winning team?

Not a whole lot. 4300 last night. Our last three games were over 5000.

If we actually get into playoffs a bit we might see Victoria get even closer to the top.

We won our division tonight, so we host the next two rounds at least.
Playoffs start Thursday in Victoria. Almost a sell-out tonight at Save-On, over 7000.
