This level of hockey will probably work out. It's still good, fundamentally sound hockey, but the players aren't paid salaries, just receive a stipend, and we have "host families" that house them here in T-Town. Alot of these players from the NAHL go on to Division 1 schools, and that is the goal of this league.
The Scarecrows and Tarantulas averaged around 1.8k a game. The Roadrunners in Sante Fe just averaged a tad over 400. The owner said they need around 800 per game to turn a profit. Shouldn't be a problem, IMO.
