CMUBrent Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 http://www.juniorhockey.com/news/news_detail.php?news_id=82382The Port Huron Fighting Falcons (NAHL) are moving to Connellsville, PA, for the 2014-15 season. They will be renamed "Keystone Ice Miners".That's five hockey teams in Port Huron to either fold or relocate in 13 years. Attendance for the Falcons was almost non-existent (577 per game in a 3100-seat arena), so I'm not surprised they left. OTOH, I wouldn't be surprised if another team arrived in town before the summer's up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CMUBrent Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Welp, looks like a CHL expansion market just opened up!I'll take it. Port Huron would be on an island with Brampton in the CHL, but I'd rather have that than, say, a Federal Hockey League team. Rumor has it that the city is talking to the USHL about an expansion franchise, but I'll believe that when I see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackieMoon Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 I see the LV Wranglers folding. Abbotsford would be a great fit in the ECHL, ASAP. Would still love to see Peoria get into the ECHL. With Cincinnati, Kalamazoo, Ft. Wayne, and Orlando - the old IHL teams are starting to come back around. Even Houston would be a cool addition.

Santa gave them special sand-skates that allowed them to play in shorts and t-shirts in 115 degree weather. Jesus, Zeus and Buddha watched from the sidelines and ate cotton candy.

Sodboy13 Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Well, shoot, the ECHL's gonna have to do something out west, aren't they? They're down to a 7-team division with 8 available playoff slots. Maybe #9 from the east gets kicked west for the postseason.

JackieMoon Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Well ECHL Fans... say goodbye to Evansville, Indianapolis, Ft Wayne, and Kalamazoo. Western Conference? These four teams will go bankrupt before the season is over. Way to go ECHL! If anything should have just disbanded from the Western Conference and let them form their own 8-team "AA" League.

rams80 Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 I assume the scheduling will be more along the lines of the AHL's "divisions/conferences are suggestions rather than guidelines". I don't expect the Midwest 4 to hike further west than Colorado unless they really want to.

JackieMoon Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 True, but just plain dumb. If they aren't going to play against Western teams then why be in their conference? I still say the hockey minor league system needs re-done. The Western ECHL teams need to move up to "AAA" and support the Western NHL teams. NHL teams need to have their affiliates within driving distance. Never understood why they don't follow baseball's example. The Blue Jackets' AAA team should be Lake Erie. AA should be Cincinnati.

rams80 Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Never understood why they don't follow baseball's example. Because baseball's example is kind of...erratic. El Paso is within driving distance of San Diego only under a very liberal interpretation of the term. Same for Salt Lake City and Los Angeles, Reno and Phoenix, Milwaukee and Nashville, Chicago and Charlotte, etc....and of course, Las Vegas and New York. Also, AAA baseball regularly blows money on planes. Not sure if most AHL budgets can accommodate that.
