I’m a die hard Blues fan to this day because I grew up with the Peoria Rivermen in the glory days of the IHL. So I’ve always had a soft spot for minor league hockey, and was thrilled when Bloomington IL just got a new franchise, and it’s in the “AA” of the NHL.

My question: I know the Rangers icon next to Olga’s’ name means he’s under their control. I thought the entire team would be rangers prospects and players, like how it is in MLB. So, is that not the case for the ECHL? So even though it’s the AA of hockey, the vast majority of players are just independent players hoping to get signed by someone? O
