The more distance I have from the day to day side of British Ice Hockey, the clearer it's flaws become.
None of them are insurmountable, but they all require a willingness to change that is lacking amongst those with the control.
To be clear: I have no beef with the current owners of the Storm. My issues all lie with Planet Ice.
But, this love to the AO Arena is a massive gamble for them, and for the arena. And it's a gamble that will be an awful lot easier for the Arena to walk away from if it goes
badly. The Storm may have burned too many bridges with two they have gone about this move in regards to Planet Ice.
Arena doesn't work? You've pissed off the company who owns the only local rink and will be running the new one at the Trafford Centre. That could be tricky.
And yeah, I'll say this:
Despite the stuff coming from the club, the Storm as they exist today are not the same club that started playing there 30 years ago.
If I need to "give up the past", so does the current club.
And the way bridges have been burned with Planet Ice... Not much is a back up if/when it does go wrong.
But what do I know, eh? I'm "just" a bitter Phoenix fan...
Good luck to the Storm at the AO Arena. You're going to need it. It's a big barn, expensive, and there are no guarantees that it will bring enough bodies in to make it work.
So, PI have kicked the Storm out you say?
I mean, I predicted this not long after the Storm started back up. I told people that PI would eventually get pissed off and kick them out.
I was right.
Planet Ice are treating the Alty rink and the Manchester Storm exactly as I said they would when the Storm "reformed".
I was called a liar at the time.
Hmmmm.
