Another snapshot of the ECHL standings as "Mini Season B" approacheth. Of particular note, the Stingrays have surged ahead of both OSB & the Everblades juggernaut by virtue of winning percentage. The Top 4 in the West remain stacked as they were at the end of the calendar year. The number of games played by each team are mostly starting to even out.

News

 

[JMCx4]

Not to be overlooked as the "Mini-Season C" schedule is released, tonight is the official start of "Mini-Season B" for the ECHL teams already playing. You can't tell the schedules without a scorecard.

 

[CHRDANHUTCH]

This weekend's Indy/Wheeling games have been postponed due to COVID cases on the Nailers.

WAS ALREADY POSTED when Wheeling sent out the press release, JD... that's the advantage of subscribing to a team newsletter (if they have one) which was posted on Thursday when they released it

 

[CHRDANHUTCH]

Utah's Teigan Zahn fined and suspended through Monday per ECHL Communications for supplementary discipline

 

[GindyDraws]

The revised division alignments aren't going to mean much in travel, but for now, Indy is the best team in the league. Allen is top of the revised Western Division.

However, even though they aren't in the same division, I still can't shake that sense of dread. This is just how it always is, every season, whenever the Komets play us (even though we were above them last year when everything got cancelled):

btw, Schedule update: SC/Jacksonville scheduled for 1/18/21 postponed to date TBD due to HSP

Any news of junior eligible players being sent to the ECHL? I know the AHL was considering this due to several junior leagues being delayed

There is no AHL or ECHL rule that prohibits 18-year old CHL-eligible players from playing in their leagues. That's entirely between the NHL and CHL.

Not true, ordinarily if drafted out of the CHL , you have to wait until you are at least 20 years old or have played 4 years in junior ( Veleno ) in order to be eligible for the ECHL / AHL.
