actually I don't live in greenville. I am planning on relocating there from north carolina. I have visited though and I think that you are correct that there are going to be a good number of transplants. not sure if there are more in one area than in another though. I like a diverse area! when I was there I met a guy who had just moved there from portland oregon. people seem to come from all over.
Well it sounds like a well balanced city. Good quality of living, realitively safe, great housing, progressive but still conservative enough for my taste.
I like a diverse area as well. After all, that is what makes the world go round......
Good luck with your future plans!
I'll keep you posted if we decide to move there!
the rec dept has inline hocky for kid's www.gcrd.org/inlinehockey.html and there is Adult Hockey at the pavilion.
If you want your kids to play Hockey you may want to look into maybe forming a class for kids! In The South Hockey is not that big of a sport, due to the fact that ponds RARELY freeze,at least not enough to skate. There is a new league for teens lacross that has recently formed.
Thanks southerngentleman.
My husband coaches our son's team right now......so that may be an option. I haven't completely "dug" into it, but I was under the impression from USA Hockey website that they had youth minor ice hockey league there already? hummm.......I'll have to research that a little further.
The neigborhodd I live has 7 families originally from the Midwest, not quite Canada, but close. I am from Michigan, so a huge Red Wings fan! I grew up watching the Leafs and the Wings beat each other up. There are a lot of nice to live in Greenville... Easley/Powdersville, Greer, and beautiful older nieghborhoods throughout the city of Greenville.
from my understanding, it is due to lack of profit. the team did good for the first couple of years but then attendance dropped. I really hope that doesn't happen to the baseball team because they invested a lot of money into a really nice stadium. I am sure that you will be able to find a hockey league there. supporting a youth league is much easier than a minor league team!
Attendance was not the real issue, but rather a problem with the funding as it was tied into the original arena costs. I attended regularly and thought it was absolutely awesome. There were usually a decent amount of spectators watching. Hopefully we will once again have hockey in Greenville someday.
Hey there Acadian, thanks for considering our area!
A little background on me: I'm from all over the place and invariably say "eh" without actually being Canadian. Be you Canadian or anyone else, do check us out. I've lived in Greenville for the last 14 years and the city has grown tremendously in size and diversity. You won't be the only Canadian, I promise, lol. I know at least one other Canadian. I just bought a new house in Taylors- oddly. My preference was to buy something downtown, I drove to the house on a whim and moved in 9 days later. The four neighbors I have right now are from Greer, Greer, NJ and W.VA. So, yes, we have lots of out of towners moving in! It's great for our economy and certainly gives the area more character! So, come on down!

It's very unlikely we would lose the baseball team, unless it was to a bigger team! This is much more a baseball town than hockey, or any other sport really. The attendance has been setting records since the first game...and attendance increased during the second season as well.
I do hope we get hockey back, though. It was a lot of fun to watch. I could care less about basketball or arena football...I wasn't surprised at all to see those go. (the Groove and Riverhawks)
To the OP, this doesn't really apply, but it's neat anyways. Greenville High (and maybe other schools...not sure) has been doing an exchange the last few years with Canada. I was never able to do it (graduated 2006) but I met a few of the students. Last summer some friends and I took a trip up to the Montreal Jazz Festival, and then headed over to Ottawa to stay with one of the friends from the exchange. It was lots of fun, and they were all great people!
haha
Good........."Ya'll" have a great sense of humour! (humour is spelled with a "U" in Canada......by the way)
I think I would like it just fine.
My igloo might melt so I'll have to think "aboot" moving into a regular house....and I'll have to bring a LARGE supply of maple syrup to hold me over until my next trip back to Canada.........but I'm sure I'll survive........since you all have an "Ice" Hockey rink there.........you can't be too bad! LOL
