I… have no clue why the preview is showing text in what appears to be German…

I knew this would happen some day ... The Nazis have taken over the Bison!

they'll be here for a while.... the ECHL doesn't allow a 1 yr expansion and a contract affiliation w/ the Rangers/Hartford if the team wasn't going to be here long-term..... this isn't DSE that over-extended its ownership

To this statement I point you to the Chicago Express....

Hey now, I well accept no Express shade on this board.

And hey, a half affiliate.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

(Some) Leafs fans like the logo.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Holy cow, news!



His goal song should be Du hast.

 

[JMCx4]

Holy cow, news!

He brings a whole new meaning to "flow" ...

 

[GindyDraws]

Oh, Carolina is also affiliating with them.

Another former Canadian major juniors signing, this one a mere 5 draft rounds away in 2017 from a promising NHL career ... BISON SIGN DEFENSEMAN REILLY WEBB

now the question needs to be asked how many independent signings before the contracted assignments from the Rangers/Hartford and the "unofficial" assignments from CAR/CHI become available/known

Was the schedule posted yet? ...

Two pages back, but who's counting?

 

[No Fun Shogun]

They haven't posted a basic month by month schedule that borderline every hockey, baseball, and basketball team releases yet, though.

you have to remember, their key liason was hired from Indy was lost recently

Oh yeah, absolutely. They've definitely had their hands full, but even recognizing that it seems like their online presence has been limited during a time when they still need to hype up the start of their inaugural season.

also, keep in mind, the history of the market and what has already transpired there previously, might be another factor in why they want to be cautious in factual info.... they've done well with the history of the other teams in the ECHL, to a degree

B-N having a history of failure kind of adds to idea that you need to get and retain folks' attention. It seems like 99% of online chatter is grassroots by fans that desperately want to see the team succeed. The fan Facebook group is extremely active for a team that so far has a logo and a couple players and that's it.

An exercise left to the student. Plenty of examples of that philosophy lately in the ECHL thread. Somebody around here is a trendsetter.

where's the master ECHL Schedule then, JMC, nevermind the master AHL/PWHL/SPHL/FPHL Master schedule release which never been done in August or before Labor Day..... the only leagues that are gearing to start in the next 2-3 weeks are the NA/NA3HL
