minor league hockey

In the 1977 cult hit movie "Slap Shot," when player/coach Reggie Dunlop learns his minor-league hockey team will fold, he boosts player morale by planting a phony story in the local paper: The Charlestown Chiefs are moving south.

Toledo, Ohio is a great sport town, and is the home of one of the most famous Minor League Baseball Team in the Toledo Mud Hens.

The population of the city is right around 700,000, and it is a part of the Great Lakes region of the United States that 54 million people call home.

IN 2009 the city added a Minor league hockey team, the Toledo Walleye, and through the opening part of the season they are leading the ECHL in average attendance.

For all those reasons, and a few more, Toledo seems to be a perfect place for the UFL to expand to.
