With all the chatter these days over former AHL towns now in the ECHL, ya know all the pros and cons I figured I share the link of a great article recently from Toledo. Its just a good piece to read regarding the author's opinion why the ECHL works so well for Toledo. Same argument is often made in Fort Wayne. Its my opinion that sadly the ECHL sacrificed so much for the benefit of it's NHL relationship.
The crap attitude of "fans" in Manchester IMO don't do the ECHL any favors. Should Manchester manages to retain their team maybe they can learn to appreciate what they have. If places like Toledo, Ft. Wayne, Orlando, Jacksonville, and Tulsa can call the ECHL home then there is no reason for Manchester not to. Maybe fresh ownership and a rebrand much like that in Springfield can fuel Manchester's rebirth.
Why the Walleye are actually better off in the ECHL than AHL
