Wouldn't be surprised if the Komets and Wild (formerly Orlando affiliate) agree to an affiliation agreement. Close to Iowa and Minnesota. Would work for everyone. It'll be interesting to see what happens.

Except that Orlando maintains its affiliation with Minnesota.

From the release:
The Solar Bears will enter the 2013-14 season with dual affiliates. Toronto will join the Minnesota Wild and Iowa Wild in supplying prospects to the Solar Bears roster.

Philly has agreed to an affiliation with Greenville for the 2013-14 season.

More News on the Road Warriors


When Trenton closed its doors after the season, the Flyers/Phantoms needed a new ECHL affiliate.

That new affiliate will be the teams' old affiliate: Greenville, as reported by Bill Meltzer.

The Flyers will share that affiliate with the Rangers, which is not uncommon at that level.

Ten players on the Phantoms 2012-13 roster spent time with Trenton, ranging from a couple of games to most of the season.

Has anyone seen any confirmation on this? None of the teams involved seem to have made any official announcements and the ECHL and Greenville pages still list the Rangers as Greenville's only NHL affiliate, while the Flyers' only listed affiliate (on their webpage) is the Phantoms.

Greenville/ECHL may need to be updated as Isles seem to be "only" affiliated with Stockton.

As for who Flyers will affiliate with, we are less than a week into August. (Sharks sometimes wait until like September to confirm their affiliate) If there's still no announcement in four weeks, then start to worry. :D

Apologies...Greenville is affiliated with the Rangers, not the Islanders. :facepalm: Isles are in fact affiliated with Stockton.

It was confirmed to me directly by Paul Holmgren, so I'd say that's pretty official. Last year, Trenton was only "officially" affiliated with the Flyers but their "former" affiliate, the Devils, still sent a few players there -- Scott Wedgewood, Kelly Zajac, Chris McKelvie.

I wonder how this effects Calgary...

It depends their could be a dual affiliation with Calgary, or Calgary could affiliate with another team... possibly Calgary could affiliate with Las Vegas (even though they are content being independent) but I believe Calgary did a have an affilation with Vegas before

Fingers crossed for their sake that they swung an affiliation agreement with the Leafs/Marlies, though I wouldn't bet on it.
