ECHL to 30 Teams?

[JMCx4]

So the Amarillo Bulls Tier II junior hockey team is moving after this season after being unable to negotiate a lease with their arena. (See the junior forum for more) But after doing some digging today I found this article from December 2020: Plans to update Amarillo civic center continue after voters denied original proposition

Quote from article:

A major part of the Amarillo Plan is the tenant, which could be the Elmore Sports Group.... The Amarillo Plan has the support of the commissioner of the ECHL to bring a AA hockey team to Amarillo.

Grizzlies pulling up stakes & moving south?

Now that's a connection I didn't expect! Wouldn't be good for Idaho if they did.

Or Rapid City.

Everybody is focusing on the wrong league. It is clearly going to be a unaffiliated AHL Pacific Division team. Where the other 7 Pacific Division teams can send players to relax and unwind during the season.

The Amarillo Admirals has a nice ring to it.

Please to refresh my memory on whether one can own two ECHL teams?

Deacon/ Dean MacDonald owns/has interest at least three..... Newfoundland, 3R and Coralville, I believe. now the question becomes how transparent are they in dealing with 2 of the 3, or are they autonomous in nature.

no other league allows it, that I'm aware of, PCS.... typically, a private ownership has to represent one team at a time.... or if the league perceives a conflict of interest which an owner is represent 2 teams in the same league at the same time.

the late Roy Boe comes to mind after owning Worcester, then starting working for Bridgeport, the AHL forced him to choose between them.... even though both eventually went to an O/O scenario and in the case of Bridgeport, upon Boe's passing did that transition to the Islanders officially commenced.

There is a rule that teams with shared ownerships can't trade with each other. The ECHL has had owners with multiple teams since it started, and apparently back in the day some owners would trade the best players from their non-playoff team to their playoff team at the deadline for 'future considerations'.

As long as said owner doesn't show up on the BoG's Zoom Call in a tu-tu. The League isn't that progressive yet.

Whenever Hutch talks about Worcester hockey history I want to bash my head against my desk.

Can we all just agree that whenever he does he's wrong so I don't need to bother with a reply that will only result in the moderators getting involved? Thanks in advance.

You know he sticks around so the mods remain entertained by our frustration.

Because everytime we call attention to it, it's us that get punished.

But what if it's a 3-banger?

This sounds like a fun game. Sort of like a minor league hockey board version of Yelp

 

[CHRDANHUTCH]

should we updating the thread title to 31 or 32?

 

[JMCx4]

I think it should read "XX" or "##" just so the Mods don't have to change the title every couple of months.

At my age that might take all week....

Just an update on something posted way back on page 1.

Using Eugene’s proposal as a guide, and adding up comments from Tacoma and- a bit of a bad idea- listening to a guy who knows a guy in Bend, that Northwest rumor can be clarified as a junior effort, not a pro effort. That doesn’t answer what Idaho Falls is doing... we think. Some of you have seen the thread in the junior section. Eh.

FYI, you can get this ---> , by clicking the smiley face at the top of the post window, and then clicking "more smileys" at the bottom, and it is the 9th one - between and .

And I tried to delete those (along with the 2/3rds of the post I did delete) and couldn’t find where they hid. But now they most certainly belong.
