They announced two teams- Valley and Independent Select. The way it is worded it seems like it won't be the BHL. Someone mentioned Lovell saying they'd play other Lovell teams. Just don't know if you can make 30-35 games doing just that.
Of course it wont be BHL, they have that on lock already. But now they have a place to collect money for kids that are not good enough for BHL ! Cha Ching !
great move by the Lovell boys once again, and the best part is, if teh valley teams get the Lovell skills, those kids will end up surpassing EHF kids !! Love it

Surpass EHF kids? Nice try. They will be lucky if they surpass E9 kids but if all it takes is Lovells skills, A. How bad are their current skills? And B. Why haven't all their current teams that have been getting Lovells skills surpassed the FED teams?
If individual teams have enough players at the select level they will put them in the BHL. Lovell and Gilmartin run the E9/BHL so they really don't have to check that off with anyone but themselves. Lovell is not going to risk not being able to pay for all that ice. Parents know not to go to a new indie team. The Lovell's are too smart for that. Some teams will be in the BHL some will be independent for year 1. I also heard a rumor that some teams will just simply play as one of his establish programs out of that rink. So you may see multiple Lovell Knights, 95 giants or Boston advantage next year out of new rink. This way he is able to attract some talent and have them compete in an actual league.
Lovell has placed teams in the Yankee conference before so this is nothing new for them. I'm sure they will make money and kids will develop so this will most likely be a good thing for the area.
