Today's post begins ECHL Week on 100 Degree Hockey, a series of stories that came from my weekend visit to Boise from January 12-15. Today's article will cover the arena experience in Boise. Tomorrow I'll be doing a long-form bio of coach and GM Neil Graham. I'll round out the week with a profile of emergency backup goalie Doug Melvin, some insight on playing in the ECHL when you're only experience has been in the AHL and finally the economics of actually being an ECHL team.
I won't claim to be a connoisseur of arenas across even the AHL.
