BC: So is the talent pool going to be older than last year?

Miller: Yes, but then there are some guys that I've spoken to already that are right out of college and they live in Long Island or Queens and they'd like to stay around. Those guys are 22 to 23 and then there's another bunch of guys that are 26 and 27. There's going to be a mix.

BC: As of right now, is there any affiliation between the league and the NHL?

Miller: No, not that I know of.

BC: You think it's important stepping stone for the integrity of the league?

Miller: As a former player, is it a big deal for me? No. Just because you have NHL slapped on your website doesn't mean you're making any more money. It does though for the fan base. It's always a plus. In the Brooklyn area, though I don't think it's a big problem because I know they love professional sports and if there's a team, they'll come.

BC: There was problems last season with attendance in Aviator, especially during the extremely cold winter months, how is the organization going to make sure that doesn't happen again?

Miller: We will be reaching out to more fans and tickets will be less expensive than last year, so that will help. All of us here at Aviator really want to get this thing going and we want to get involved in the community more and have school night and things like that.

BC: You've got to be under a lot of pressure, putting a team together in just two months, how are you handling it?

Miller: Not too bad actually. There's a lot of local guys around and I think we're going to be alright. I know we're going to have a solid team and for the league's purposes, I think this is going to be a very cohesive league. I'm not worried. It would be bad if I said I was worried, but I'm not.
