Keith Tkachuk is so eager to see an independent American Association team in Fort McMurray that he’s willing to spring for it, with or without local investors.

There are no plans for expansion in the independent American Association, reports commissioner Miles Wolff, as the league continues its focus on large markets and stable ownership groups.

As schedules for the independent North American League are posted to the Web, one interesting fact is emerging: it doesn’t appear as though the four Texas teams in United League Baseball are participating fully in the NAL this season — for good reason. Four? Yes. It looks as though there’s been a change in the […]
The Edmonton Capitals are set for a season in the independent North American League, but the team’s owners are pretty open about their lack of enthusiasm about indy ball — and their preference to field a team in the Pacific Coast League.
