The American hockey league has approved expansion to Austin, Texas and Along with two teams the Philadelphia Flyers are moving their farm team to Glens Falls, New York.
The Calgary Flames are moving their farm team to Abbotsford in the land of Canuck fans and in WHL territory in conflict with the Bruins. I wonder how this will affect the Chillawack team.
That will be some travel for other American League teams.
Will this be the start of the American League going into ECHL team territory? Into the old IHL
cities on the west coast.
