As we begin this new season, let me send my condolences to the fans of teams who are not returning this year: the Austin Ice Bats, Columbia Inferno, Jacksonville Barracudas, Pensacola Ice Pilots, Texas Wildcatters, and Youngstown Steelhounds.

The reviews will start a bit late this year. October's going to be a very busy month for me, and there are only nine new reviews to do by my count, so I'm just going to wait until November to start. I may or may not be going at my usual once-a-week pace. I really haven't decided yet. Keep checking, and we'll see.

"What's the Bush League Factor?" you may be thinking.

Basically, it's a not-too-serious attempt at quantifying how lousy some of the logos in minor league hockey are. Certain offenses have been catalogued -- cartoony logos, logos with irrelevant features in them (such as a bear in the logo for a team called the "Aces"), trendy and/or garish colors, and so forth. Each offense has been given a point value, and the scores have been added up.

Some people would say that I need to get a life, and they may be right, but until then I'm going to keep working on this.

Updates should come roughly once a week during the season...maybe more often, maybe less. Keep checking to see what I have to say. With every update one team (sometimes more if I'm feeling ambitious) will be spotlighted. Teams will be done in a seemingly random order (it isn't, but the exact order is left as an exercise to the reader). Teams from all of hockey's minor leagues will be involved.

Navigation is fairly straightforward. Look at the links on the left and click on the team or department you want to go to.

If you wish to contact me, my username is daniel and my domain is the same as that for this page. I avoid putting the two together because I get more than enough spam as it is. Comments are welcome and encouraged. Particularly witty comments may get put on the website. Particularly stupid ones may as well. Sending me e-mail regarding the Bush League Factor constitutes acceptance of these terms (which is a fancy way of saying, "No, you can't sue me for putting your e-mail on the webpage!").
