I thought some of the other hockey fans and western/central PA folks on the board would be happy to see this article. Two years after losing the ECHL Chiefs, Johnstown is getting an NAHL team. Johnstown has a loyal hockey fanbase, but the city is too small to support a pro team. However, I think a junior hockey team will do very well in the city.

Town that inspired 'Slap Shot' getting new minor league hockey team - ESPN

The gritty western Pennsylvania city whose rich minor league hockey history helped inspire the cult movie hit Slap Shot is getting another chance to support a hockey team.

Being from the Johnstown area its great to see hockey back in town. I used to love to go to Chief games as a kid and I love the movie Slap Shot!
