Brian in Boston Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 There has been a considerable amount of speculation about the Hershey Bears entering into an affiliation agreement with the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dilbert Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 THEY BETTER NOT! I love my Cincinnati Mighty Ducks, If we loose them I would have to go up to Dayton for ECHL hockey. The Cincy Ducks are in there second best and soon to be best season ever, give them a chance. Signature intentionally left blank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slapshot Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 I was happy and disappointed when I heard about Portland's new agreement with the Pirates. Happy for the fans of the team, they are very friendly in Portland and very supportive of their two biggest hockey teams (the Pirates and University of Maine Black Bears).Disappointed, because it's one less option of an AHL team to play in Worcester next season. But it's still too early to know what will happen...didn't the Roadrunners switch in late summer from Toronto to Edmonton? This means there's still time for someone to move to Worcester, if that's even the case for any team for next season.

Brian in Boston Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 I've got the feeling that Worcester is in line for an ECHL or UHL franchise. I don't see too many AHL franchises shifting in the next couple of years. I could be wrong, but which AHL market seems legitimately likely to shift to Worcester by next season?

I could be wrong, but which AHL market seems legitimately likely to shift to Worcester by next season? The Moose, once the Jets land in Winnipeg again.Oh wait, that says "legitimately".

Sodboy13 Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 As for teams that could be on the move, hasn't attendance been awful in Cleveland from the get-go? And San Antonio basically had a fire sale of their talent a couple of months ago, so they could be on the way out.

The ECHL like the AHL is mostly puting or moving teams more in the West than east. Signature intentionally left blank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ez Street Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 Quad Cities would work well with Iowa and Omaha coming in next season. @DavidStreeter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slapshot Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 I don't know how well a UHL team would work in Worcester. Aside from the AHL, the nearest team is where, Danbury? Utica? You have a team trying to build a new fan base against unknown rivals that are almost 2 hours away. When the IceCats came to the league, there were 3 other teams within an hour and change's drive: Providence, Springfield and Hartford. Stretch that to almost 3 hours, and you can include Portland and Albany.I think it will take quite a few years to get much fan interest for an obscure (at least in that part of New England) hockey league a rung or two lower than what was once there.

Sharky99MB Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 The Moose, once the Jets land in Winnipeg again.Oh wait, that says "legitimately". Oh well, I stand by it. NO way... would love it if the Moose would become the Jet's farm team eh.. that would save on expenses and etc... look at Philly Flyers with the AHL Phantoms and Edmonton Oilers with the Road Runners and soon, Toronto Maple Leafs with the Marlies... so.. we'll wait and see what happen eh?
