Industry overview
28 Seasons The ECHL was founded in 1988 with 5 teams in 4 states.
Currently 28 teams in 24 states
Began in 1988 3rd longest tenured professional league behind the NHL and AHL
Began in 1988 527 players have moved to the NHL 26 affliations with 30 NHL teams 26 affliations with 30 AHL teams
Ninety percent of hockey is mental and the other half is physical.
The direct competition in this case is not another hockey team, as would be expected.
The competition in Vegas is Vegas itself. The city is teaming with things to see and do:
♦ Shark reef (in the desert) ♦ Red Rock Canyon ♦ Countless casinos ♦ Britney Spears ♦ Blue Man Group ♦ Penn & Teller ♦ 2,374 restaurants
competitive analysis
♦ Magicians ♦ Light shows ♦ Shooting ranges ♦ Botanical gardens ♦ Zip lining down Fremont Street ♦ Fountains shows with erupting volcanoes ♦ Circque du Soliel
competitive analysis
The franchise will have to overcome its history and reputation in the heart and minds of the locals. In order to return to Vegas, hockey needs to dedicate some time to the people who make up the Las Vegas community. Las Vegas residents have cited local governments are failing to foster a sense of community, providing an opportunity to create.
competitive analysis Although they are separated by a great physical difference, the Alaska Aces are the perceived rivals for any hockey team in Vegas. During the 2005-2006 season, the Wranglers fell one point behind the Aces for the Western Division.
The rivalary became the biggest for each team, and the ECHL itself. Game were shceduled across a four day span, allowing fans from either city to attend. These hockey weekends were popular at home, as Alaskans enjoyed the long stay in Vegas.
In previous ye the Las Veg & the Alska
winninge
On March 25, 2009, Alaska’s Matt Stefanishion hit Las Vegas’ Chris Ferraro in the second period.
This hit broke Ferraro’s leg, ending his season and his career.
2009: the rivalary became violent
ears, gas Wranglers a Aces were the
est teams
in the league.
Ferraro’s twin brother, Paul, retaliated and instigated a brawl that would involve nine players. While the Wranglers team is now defunct, the bad blood between each team exists. The Ace’s are competitors as they are in the same team, but also because they could conceviably pack their fans into the arena, tipping the atmosphere in their favor.
Hockey in Las Vegas has encoutnered a number of stumbling blocks. In 1999, the WCHL announced its entention rights to Las Vegas. The Wranglers name and logo were created in advance of the inuaragal season in 2000. Howver, the team had to suspend enterance into the WCHL for three season due to lack of facilities. The Wrangelers were a successful team, until they failed to secure a venue location. Team owner Gary Jones addressed the
folding of the team: “We worked hard to try and keep it going, but at the end of the day, you need a piece of ice to play hockey...I thought it was time to pull the plug. I’m sorry it didn’t work out.”
Wranglers
Citizens feel they are transient, the inconsistent history of hockey in the city only adds to this feeling.

emma
Narrative When Emma was eight years old, she was diagnosed with leukemia. She also became a big sister. Jack adores his sister, but all he’s even seen is Emma’s suffering. She has good days, but most of them are bad. In his young life, he’s spent holidays and birthdays in the hospital, all underpinned with subtle sadness, though no one would discuss it. Recently, the Arizona Coyotes paid a visit to Children’s Hospital of Nevada at UMC.
When they found out it was Emma’s fourteenth birthday. Several players went out of their way to celebrate: they brought in pizza, cake, and Coyote-themed gifts. Seeing his sister smile and really enjoy herself was amazing to Jack. He started to be come enthralled with hockey and he and he decided he wanted to be in the Pee-Wee hockey league. His parents are more than accommodating, as they helped Emma and impacted their family so positively.

James is a diehard fan. You know the type- when watching away games on tv, he is screaming at the tv as if the team can hear and it would help. When the team is on a winning streak, he will wear the same clothes, eat the same food, travel the same route, as if his daily habits impact Vegas hockey. As a season ticket holder and a fanatic, price was of little consequence to him. Each year he budgeted for his tickets and he had no plans to give them up. He was very bitter about the delay of the inaugural season in 1999, and the recent suspension of play. He feels it’s another typical “Vegas move�: who cares about what the residents want or think, as long as there are facilities for the tourists!
Not a die-hard fan;
he is a die-never fan.
This will be the third time Vegas residents are expected to give up their hard earned money to support an organization that did not have enough forethought to secure a long term home.
THE DIE-HARD
The locals are the ones supporting the team: they are the ticket-takers, the janitors, the ushers, and the people in the seats. If the franchise wants success, in James’ opinion they better do something to prove they value their fans.
