I think this is great news. Get rid of Old York Road too. Another hockey club with no future.

Revolution Youth has plenty of ice for players that want to stay local, and all the benefits that both of those clubs have now being an affiliate of AAHA, District/National Bound !!!!!

Is this in response to the rumor that the Hatfield was starting their own team and kicking out the Ice Dogs?

Bwa ha ha ha OYR I gotta agree there. What are there 3 teams left in that club? Great idea to make one team out of 2. They were too close and and players switched back and forth all the time.

I would definitely add OYR and Wintersport to this new IceDog/Wildcat club. If ID are truly getting kicked out of Hatfield, BCI can't handle all of those kids. Combine the 4 clubs and play out of BCI, OYR and WS.

If I'm correct even if multi-teams combine they have to play out of one rink as per DVHL.  So if Hatfield is being "kicked out" they have to play in one rink.  As stated BCI can handle them.  So Guessing Hatfield/ Warwick play out of Hatfield.

That's not correct, and it's not a rule. The Warwick Wildcats play out of Bucks Ice and Winter Sports. The Lehigh Valley Phantoms Youth play out of Steel Ice Center and Bethlehem Municipal Ice Rink. Delco Phantoms have played out of both The Pond in Delaware and Quad Rinks. Those are a few teams I can think off off the top of my head.

And another, the Hershey Jr bears play in 4 different rinks.

Team Genesis Healthcare being floated around...

BCI will be closing down rink 1 and converted to warehouse...
Rink 2 will be still used as a curling rink...
