Prospect Info: Hartford Wolf Pack/Bloomington Bison Thread: Part XV

[bleedblue94]

Not sure if it's been reported on here but I've heard that the Maine affiliation may be ending after this season. If a mod needs to pm me for confirmation than they can do so

I don't know what response you expect, I obviously didn't see it ha. Heard the info a few weeks ago but didn't really feel it proper to share it at that time

I’m at the Icemen vs Solar Bears game. What the hell were we thinking with Jake Elmer?

It would me nice if there was a team in Palm Beach County.
Give us Snowbirds and transplanted Northerners more night options during the winter months.

He was always a longshot like any UDFA, but unfortunately he was also one of those guys who plays his best hockey at age 20 and then declines.

 

[Svenhart2008]

Yeah, he was invisible tonight.
If anyone ever wonders if it’s worth it to go to a Jacksonville game, do it. It was a ton of fun and they have done a great job with the overall production.

the Arena is also very very nice. Holds over 13k too I think. Maybe AHL one day?

fanbase also seems to be doing pretty well.

Maine GM Daniel Briere is Drury's friend. Perhaps no so friendly?

Maine GM Daniel Briere is Drury's friend. Perhaps no so friendly?

there has been nothing announced publically,. but Ranger fans need to realize, Briere is employed by the Flyers, so the only connection is Spectra Experiences, just as it was when MSG bidded for the rights to the XL Center and lost that.... just as they no longer are in the management business in Connecticut.... whether it was Pratt & Whitney Stadium....

Boston has never cared publically about any affiliation here in Portland, whether it was corporate or privately owned as they got the blame solely for the decision to come here when the Devils bolted for Utica(which didn't exactly last as there is an inherit rivalry between Philadelphia and Boston (remember the 1st event reintroducing the ECHL was PHI/BOS)....

THERE is also the story of why the Rangers left Greenville in 2018, was it not stated that the Rangers do not change affiliations that often

Next season Hartford will be with Bridgeport, Charlotte, Hershey, Lehigh Valley, Providence, Springfield, and WBS in the Atlantic. Teams will have the option (not sure how that works) of playing 72 or 76 games. Playoffs will expand in some manner.

Beginning in 2022-2023, all divisions will play an equal 72-game slate.

AHL Board approves plan for schedule unification

this graphic from that page pegs the pack to play 72

for the last few seasons, the teams out west played fewer games than the Eastern teams

68 vs, 76 was a point of contention for years
