Echl in Greensboro in 2025 26 Greensboro Gargoyles

  • We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.

    What This Means for You:

    • If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
    • If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
    • Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
    • Our 2025 light and dark themes were lost, so we are rebuilding them. Light theme is currently available, but work in progress

    Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

    In the meantime, feel free to join our Discord Server

Future Hurricanes ECHL team would be my guess. Back to the place they started too.

Greensboro has a history of the game going back to I believe 1959. The 80s and 90s Monarchs of the ECHL were very popular. The AHL stint in 96-97 didn't go well.

Glad they're getting a new life. The Coliseum is dated but will be a good ECHL venue.

In announcing naming rights on Oct. 1 for what has been rebranded as First Horizon Coliseum, officials with Oak View Group, the new manager of the coliseum, said work was underway to bring another professional sports franchise to Greensboro. They signaled that an announcement would be coming this week, but Andrew Brown, director of marketing for First Horizon Coliseum, Greensboro Complex and Oak View Group, told TBJ on Sunday that the announcement is being postponed. The reason is logistical, he said, and the new timing is to be determined. ...

Is "logistical" a euphemism for "never mind"?

Unless/until OVG gets their act together, I wouldn't expect other sports news outlets to publish anything more than regurgitations of the B-Journal content.

I'll be interested to see how the organization imagines the soft-and-cuddly version of the Gargoyle for the mascot costume.

They going to tie in with Disney’s 1990s animated show?

If an FPHL team can partner with a 1970s new wave band, an ECHL expansion team can at least try to engage Disney for a booster shot of Gen Y nostalgia.

ETA: Or a more likely scenario would be ... the Disney legal team is sending a Cease & Desist order to Zawyer Sports & Entertainment right now. 📜

Gargoyles is such a weird word and isn't the easiest to say although I suppose it could be worse. I thought for sure they'd go Monarchs or even give Generals a second chance. I mean the city is named after a general in the revolutionary war who fought at the battle of Guilford (the county Greensboro is in), it just seemed to make sense to go that route again. There's even a popular local beer/bar with that name so you'd have that tied in too.
