ich glaub die IHL gibts nimma?

@ a_ovech8

stimmt. die IHL wurde 2001 aufgelöst! hab ich erst jetzt gesehen!

Zitat

The International Hockey League (IHL) was a professional ice hockey league in the United States and Canada from 1945 to 2001.

Aus aktuellem Anlass (Marco Charpentier ist angeblich in Linz im Gespräch) würde mich interessieren, wie das Niveau in den einzelnen Ligen in Nordamerika einzuschätzen ist?

Im Wiki habe ich dazu folgendes gefunden:

Zitat

American Hockey League (Class AAA)

ECHL (Formerly: East Coast Hockey League- Class AA)
Central Hockey League (Class AA)
United Hockey League (Class AA)

Southern Professional Hockey League (Class A)

Canadian Hockey League (an Umbrella of three Major Junior Hockey Leagues)
- Ontario Hockey League (Major Junior)
- Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (Major Junior)
- Western Hockey League (Major Junior)

Stimmt das in etwa, und wie kann man die Ligue Nord-Américaine de Hockey (LNAH) hier einordnen?

Wäre toll wenn mir hier jemand weiterhelfen könnte!

Zitat

Die LNAH steht nicht für filigranes Eishockey, sondern für harte Action und teilweise unfaire Fouls, Angriffe und Schlägereien in denen die gesamten Teams involviert sind.

So steht die aktuelle Statistik der laufenden Saison 2006/07 bei 4,38 Schlägereien pro Spiel. Tommy Bolduc von Sorel Mission führt die Strafzeit-Statistik 2006/07 an: 151 Minuten in nur 17 Spielen.

Trotz ihres schlechten Rufes finden immer wieder reputierte Spieler der NHL und AHL ihren Weg in die LNAH. So spielten in den vergangenen Jahren u.a. Donald Brashear, Mathieu Biron, Marc-Andre Bergeron, Stephane Richer, Bobby Dollas, Eric Fichaud und Mario Roberge dort.

... sind aber auch alles keine Kinder von Traurigkeit

dankeschön!

klingt irgendwie eher nach eishockey kämpfen, als nach eishockey spielen!

andererseits hat auch Desmarais in der LNAH gespielt, bevor er nach innsbruck kam. und beim HCI hat er wirklich nicht schlecht ausgesehen!
