WHA Spring Tournament

Scott Burnside, on espn.com, is reporting that the WHA will host a tournament this spring in order to draw some interest towards it’s league that is supposed to start up next fall.

Several high-profile National Hockey League players are expected to play in the tournament, which will feature six to eight teams, WHA president and CEO Ricky Smith said. The event has also secured a “major television deal” and significant corporate sponsorship, he added.

There’s a league meeting scheduled for Friday and Saturday, and more details should be announced at that time.

The WHA’s website mentions nothing about the tournament.

I have little doubt no one is holding their breath at this point, but it is an interesting concept nonetheless.
