The_Admiral Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 SPRINGFIELD, Mass. … American Hockey League President and Chief Executive Officer David Andrews announced today that the league’s Board of Governors has voted to discontinue to the current test of AHL Rule 82 (“Icing”), effective Friday, January 18. “We believe that 564 games has been a sufficient test period for ‘hybrid icing’ and that the application of the rule has been positive for the most part,” said Andrews. “But because we have more than 300 players recalled to the National Hockey League each season, it is our view that these players should have the benefit of a consistent application of the icing rule in both the AHL and NHL.” Read between the lines: "hybrid icing is stupid." ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CubsFanBudMan Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Also, Adirondack will be moving to Allentown, PA in a year or two. Adirondack (Glens Falls) was just a place holder for the Phantoms (Flyers) after the Spectrum was torn down.You think they'll move to the Lehigh Valley?I know they will. They started building the new arena in November. The arena is supposed to be done in 2014 for the Phantoms to move into. They even have a website setup for the arena, and the team is going to be called the Lehigh Valley Phantoms. http://phantomsarena.com/News.htmlAnd I believe I read that the Phantoms would exit a year earlier if a replacement team can be found for their current arena next season.

The_Admiral Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 I don't know about Kzoo. They have college hockey already. St. Charles, MO, maybe?I do think the eventuality of Triple-A hockey is two separate leagues, neither of which has a very big footprint. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
