Toronto Marlies moving to Hamilton in 2025-26 after renovations of the Hamilton Copps Coliseum?

I have to say that for so many years getting to enjoy AHL hockey locally from the A-Red Wings, CD Islanders, River Rats, and Albany Devils the last couple years of AHL hockey you could clearly see the league headed toward systems development. You saw coaching and decisions made to benefit development over game wining, it was tough. Now that I mainly watch ECHL and D-1 in person it's alot different and it's enjoyable. Individual skill, efforts, and initiative is on full display so the skill level may be a rung just below it's nice to see teams wanting THE WIN over going through the motions development.

This is exactly why I love junior hockey so much. I was at WHL (Wheat Kings) and AHL (Moose) games within the last week and even though the Moose players are undeniably more skilled, on the whole the WHL game is much more entertaining for the reasons you pointed out.

Even cooler if it's the Bulldogs, entering the ice to "Bad To The Bone" was badass lol.

Used to watch them a lot back in 96 through 98.

Laraques, Bonvie, Brown.

Bad to the Bone was correct.

The reasonable solution seems to be moving the Bulls/Bulldogs back to Belleville, moving the B-Sens over to Hamilton or Cornwall, and dropping the Marlies whenever the B-Sens aren't located.

Currently the Sens farm team is 2 hours 15 minutes away. Don’t see why they would want to make it 6 hours away in Hamilton.

Really low attendance in Belleville and plenty of smoke that Andlauer wants to drop the B-Sens there.

Cornwall would be much closer, though.

Where is this smoke,
I’ve seen much more smoke on the Marlies moving to Hamilton.

Turns out I'm full of crap on this one, fell for some search engine optimization guff from a minor podcaster talking about it. My bad.
