So I am in florida at a bar, and they were showing NBA summer league games. And it got me thinking. Wouldn't that be a great idea for kids and prospects to develop and for us fans to pick apart and watch. How hard would it be to get something like that going?

it might be hard with all the tournements like hte worlds, the world juniors, etc that another league just wouldn't give players any time off at all and essentially creates more injury risk scenarios.

but i would love more hockey.

3-3, with sticks and gloves with players mic'd up might be fun for a small tourney.

They have prospect tournaments. You would get the Flames, Oilers, Jets and Canucks prospects all playing each other. Here is the link for this years. It is closer to training camp though so it doesn't exactly fit the bill as a summer league.

I found a link for the 2014 Sabres team but not this year.
