The_Admiral Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 How do teams simply move from one league to another? Isn't there affiliations and things to deal with? If one league is a higher level of play than the other, would the team have to lose it's players and get better players? Does the "team" simply mean the name, colors, and uniforms, but new affiliation and new players? Or is it literally the same team just in a new league?This is sorta like when the Rockford IceHogs "moved up" from the UHL to the AHL. The River Rats AHL franchise is being moved to Charlotte, and then they're taking the Charlottte Checkers branding off the ECHL franchise and sticking it on the River Rats. So now there's a nameless homeless ECHL franchise that somebody has to deal with. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
