Scrooge. I am not the biggest fan of Jay, but he made the right decision here. If you look at things in the long run, Covelli made the city more money and offered advertising at his 9 franchises in the area...
Once again, bring the right acts/events and people will come. The NAHL was not one of them, nor will the USHL sadly.
Rushing into getting hockey to just have more acts was irresponsible last year as we only saw 1000/game for the Phantoms. I think you will see the same issue in the coming year with the USHL team.
I wish them luck, but junior-level hockey in the USHL will not succeed anymore than it did in the NAHL here.
I am one of the most optimistic people in this area. But I am not going to spend my money to see my fellow high school graduates play hockey at a $45 million dollar arena.
I'll take 3300 a game over the dismal 1000 the Phantoms had this year.
We needed the ECHL and it looks like that will never happen.

QUIT GIVING THIS GUY PRESS.
My God this is a joke. He screwed himself over when he turned down the city's offer to relocate his business over on Andrews Avenue.
The Vindicator is either friends with Villani or really becoming anti-YSU.

Hockey secures 150 dates at Covelli
The real question will be if Hockey is even secure. I've said it once and I will say it again: Youngstown will not support Junior-Level hockey.
