For you guys that like to follow players that were on your home team last year but don't appear to have signed with an ECHL team this season, where are you finding information? Elite Prospects and Hockey DB are hit and miss for information. Any good sources or sites? The news site on the ECHL site is good but for players who go overseas I haven't found anything reliable.

Have they signed any players yet? They are playing this season, right?

Could the NHL take full control of the AHL and/or ECHL like MLB did with MiLB?

If I or someone were to make discord chat would it be used by anyone on here or something

Y'all treat my boy good, you hear? :'(

Any rumors on additional markets being added in the near future?

Does anyone know what hotel(s) visiting teams stay at when at playing the Worcester Raiders and Orlando Solar Bears?

Now that the Vegas Golden Knights have their affiliate team in the Tahoe Knight Monsters, that leaves only 3 teams with no ECHL affiliate (Carolina Hurricanes, Columbus Blue Jackets, and Ottawa Senators).

Edit: Utah Hockey Club to affiliate with Allen Americans

If the ECHL were to eventually expand to 32 teams, what would be the perfect 3 cities for expansion teams and who would be their NHL affiliates?

You can re-affiliate a current team if needed.

Now that the boring part of the season is over we can now discuss things that are actually important. As you know 2020 introduced catastrophic changes that altered reality in many of our lives. The most prevalent being that the Atlanta Gladiators make the worst decision in the history of history by removing the glorious delicacy known as the pretzel bites from the starting lineup.

In the years following, turmoil & dispare has hit the Atlanta based hockey franchise. To begin, many fans tried to hold it together and act like life was normal. There was hope as in 2022 the Glads had a great regular season, however as our most famous green president once said …

Victory you say? Master Obi-Wan, not victory. The shroud of the dark side has fallen. Begun the Pretzel Bite curse has.

The team was promptly swept out of the playoffs, forced to play on the road by our animated mouse overlords even though they were the higher seed. Rumors of relocation to Winnipeg, err, I mean Athens swirled. Fans were forced to pay for parking. The blimp was shot out of the air. Florida won the cup three hundred times. The team was sold and our beloved Nesbit was forced into coaching just like the great Ted Williams and “Bruce” Wayne Gretzky were.

Coming off the worst season in franchise history, a season that would make the Leafs look good, life is looking bleak. I did not make this post just to bring awareness that hockey still exists in Georgia. I made this not because it was Saturday morning at 5am and I was bored. I made this to raise awareness to all and so that no child in this world has to live in a world with no pretzel bites in the world. Mr Gladiators owner, tear down this hypothetical wall, and bring back our treasured buttery flavored snack. Otherwise the curse of the pretzel bites will linger.

Specifically targeting Norfolk fans but if other fans can comment, that's good too.
