Evansville Arena becoming reality
EVANSVILLE, Ind. (AP) — Evansville officials plan to build a new 11,000-seat arena in conjunction with a major remodeling of a downtown hotel.Work could start as early as next month on what Mayor Jonathan Weinzapfel (WINE’-zap-fuhl) says will be a transformation of the city’s downtown.
The plan announced Monday will put the $127 million arena on a different site than first picked after the city could not agree with property owners on a sale price. The new project will include partial demolition of the existing 470-room Executive Inn.
Developer Browning Investments plans to renovate the remaining 250-room facility, which will be connected to the arena.
Weinzapfel expects the arena to be completed by late 2011. Much of its funding will come from casino tax revenue and local food-and-beverage taxes.

Look for a new International Hockey League website for the 2009-2010 season but not a website created by Oryan Web Design Company.
The IHL will be releasing a brand new more user friendly website in the coming weeks. For the past seven years the IHL has been using Oryan Web Design as there web provider but thought it was time for a change.
Hopefully the new website is much more interactive with videos, photo's, bio's and the such.

Flint Generals will return to IHL next season
,
Labels:
IHL
by Dan Feldman The Flint Journal
Former Quad City Mallard goaltender Jeff Reynaert once called the archrival Flint Generals "the cowards of the league" when both teams were members of the defunct United Hockey League.
Flint and Quad City will have a chance to rekindle those old feelings after a two-year hiatus — this time in the International Hockey League.
Despite rumors of the team folding, Flint will return to the IHL for a third season.
"The Flint Generals will be playing hockey in the International Hockey League for the 2009-2010 season," said Michael Franke, chairman of the IHL board of governors. "That is 100 percent."
Quad City, along with the Dayton Gems, are joining the league this year. The Kalamazoo Wings moved to the East Coast Hockey League, meaning the IHL will have seven teams.
The Generals will return with a new look on the bench and in the front office, which may help their viability.
"To not say that it was a struggle for the Flint Generals last year would be telling a lie," Franke said. "It was a struggle."
Coach Bobby Reynolds posted he wasn't returning as the team's coach on his Facebook.com profile. He wrote his years with the Generals were "awesome."
Franke said Flint will hire a new general manager to run the team's daily operations — someone to focus on sponsorships, sale and distribution of season tickets, promotions and advertising.
"That is something that, in all truthfulness, was missing last year," Franke said.
Franke said the Generals were close to finalizing deals with the coach and general manager and expects the hirings to be announced within the next 10 days.
"From the league perspective, we are very encouraged with the behind-the-scenes work that has taken place within the Flint Generals organization over the course of the last several weeks," Franke said.
The Generals also announced in March that Ron Sanko, Chuck Glasscock, Jeremy Piper, Bob Dodge and Detroit Red Wing Kris Draper wouldn't return as owners. Travis Prince, Bob Perani, Brandon Bordeaux and Ron Mitchell remain.
The Generals participated in the IHL meetings the week of June 15 and the schedule meeting in Fort Wayne on July 1.
Their schedule will be released in the next 7-10 days. The season will open the weekend of Oct. 15.

Toldeo to hold pre-season game against Port Huron Ice Hawks
The Toledo Walleye announced that they will play two pre-season games in October and one will be against the International Hockey League's Port Huron Ice Hawks. The game will take place on Sunday, October 11th 2009 at a small local arena in the Toldeo area.
This is very exciting for ECHL/IHL fans as for the past two months fans of both leagues have been on a constant debate on which league is more superior. Although this is only an exhibition game this will still be a showing on each league capabilities.
