Any news on the bruins and Atlanta yet.

I have not heard anything yet about next season's affiliation. I heard there was a deal in place with Nashville, but obviously it must have fallen through.

The AHL is never going south of the Mason/Dixon line beyond Carolina. The Carolina Monarchs (remember them?) and Charlotte Checkers are pretty much as far south as the AHL are willing to go in the league, so we'll never see the league in Florida or Georgia.

At one point, before the AHL western expansion happened, there were conversations about moving Atlanta, Florida, and Orlando up to the AHL. I don't know who would have moved down, but that was an idea on the table so I would not completely rule it out, however unlikely it may be.

If Tampa Florida or Nashville buy any of those echl teams they are bound to be Ahl markets sooner or later.

More than likely Carolina will go to Greenville and Boston is staying in Atlanta for another year

My wife and I are already planning a "Pucks and Pints" trip down to Greenville and Charlotte if this happens. A friend of mine from high school and her husband own a craft brewery in Greenville (and they have a solid beer scene anyway). I haven't been to a hockey game in Greenville since the days of the Palmetto Cup rivalry between the Inferno, the Stingrays, the Pride, and the Grrrowl.

Could really give a nice boost to the The Road Warriors.

I think you mean Swamp Rabbits. They haven't been Road Warriors in 4 years. Also not sure if it really would be a boost. One thing the Hurricanes have historically been terribad at is any sort of outreach into South Carolina. This would be the first real move the team's taken to do anything of that sort.

Hey, at least I didn't call them the Grrrrowl.

It's a logical affiliation from a marketing angle regardless of the past.

Downtown Greenville has really flourished in the last 10-15 years. Bon Secours Arena is nothing special, but its proximity to the downtown area sure makes it a pleasant destination for a hockey weekend.
 
REALLY wish that the ECHL would come back to Greensboro. I can walk to the Coliseum. But the guy who runs the arena isn't interested.

The FHL Thunderbirds sell out almost every game so they can't say this area still isn't starved for hockey.

For this. Is there any way we can add a column to show if the affiliation is active? Just be easier to read all the active affiliations
Thanks
