The “Q” League Commissioner stopping off in Saint John and says there are no plans for expansion. Gilles Courteau says 18 teams are are enough.
He acknowledges the league is getting more exposure because of the NHL lockout but on the other hand it’s not good for the game in general.
Courteau also says not having the NHL is hampering the further of development of players like Jonathon Huberdeau of the Sea Dogs who would otherwise be in the NHL.
He’s suggesting there could be more junior hockey shown on national television if the NHL season gets cancelled in its entirety.
