The city of Abbotsford and the @abbotsfordheat have called a press conference for tomorrow morning with rumors the team is moving to NY

Do we have to start writing Only the Goddamned AHL now?

I can't wait for chapters like:

"Glens Falls: Sport's Most Desirable Crown Jewel"

guess so, lol

♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫

This would be a cool logo, though.

Did this last year. Sounds like they'll inherit Glens Falls, though. However, "Adirondack Flames" either sounds like a forest fire or a burning chair, so I would recommend neither.

Plattsburgh or Burlington wouldn't be the worst idea, the worst idea, of course, being Abbotsford. Might make a better Canadiens affiliate than Hamilton, if they decide not to go through with Laval.

Lets bring the AHL to Alaska!!!

... and a Triple A baseball team to Hawaii!
Please tell me you are both joking, these teams wont be able to pay the transportation costs that would be required

To be fair, Triple A baseball made it work for 27 years.

Well, they just announced that they're done in Abbotsford. They're going somewhere, and probably to the longtime AHL market that's just about to open up.

City's paying the Flames $5.5 million to kill the deal, which is less money than they would have lost had the team stayed for the duration. This was never going to end well, so I guess at least it's ended less-bad.

For all the bird de lis haters I think the bird de lis isnt supposed to be a pelican and a fleur de lis I think its just a fleur de lis with a pelicans head. Thats what it looks like to me. Also the flair around the tip of the beak is just flair that fleur de lis have sometimes source I am from NOLA.
