So, the minor league world is officially beig shaken up. San Jose is moving their AHL affiliate from Worcester to the SAP Center (same venue the parent club Sharks play in). Reports state Anaheim, LA, Calgary and Edmonton will all be announcing their plans to move their AHL teams to California in the next few weeks. Bakersfield is apparently looking at a rebrand, potentially donning the Oilers moniker (which is actually okay, as Bako is an oil town). LA is apparently moving the Monarchs to Ontario, but are moving the Reign to Manchester, and each club will keep its name, so there will be no major change, just new affiliations. I hope to God Calgary doesn't change the Stockton Thunder into a flame-related name. The franchise is successful, and I like the brand. I also hope the Ducks bring back the Gulls name and logo. My guess is that the Sharks are probably just waiting for the new Warriors or Kings arenas to be finished to move the AHL franchise, or the vacated Oracle Arena. Still, wherever they end up, I pray they keep the original Sharks logo! I suspect this will lead to Colorado, Arizona and Vancouver following suit and heading west. If so, we are looking at a ton of logo/uniform changes. Also, the ECHL will be having to relocate, and maybe expand. Rumor has also spread that the Bruins want to move their affiliate to the now vacant Worcester market. It's going to get crazy. Edit: Damn! Beaten by seconds!
