Can wait to hear your thoughts on the PAC 6

[@swiftfishin5680]

Been in Huntsville and going to havoc games for a long time now. I just recently started doing motorcycle trips to away games and it's so interesting to see the history. Personally wish Illinois could stay out of the SPHL. They really have no business being part of down here. We need a team over in Little Rock or Louisiana or something.

Please Do The ECHL Expansion & Relocation History

Are you going to do a Pac-6 video?

[@connoromelia4176]

It’ll certainly be a lot of work but would love a video like this for the FPHL. It was somewhat of a revolving door early on for the league, but recently they have managed to solidify the strong markets and are continuing to grow and move into some of the SPHL territory. It may not be long before both leagues are on a level playing field as far as skill.

The 6 Pac is next. I wonder how the dominos will fall for the Mountain West, C-USA, Sun Belt and AAC.

Y'know its nice seeing you get back to hockey leagues while the Re-Alignment stuff seems to have finally calmed. Although I think this is your 1st pro hockey league right?

[@d1_360]

1st pro league. Get all the hockey stuff done now, then basketball/football/baseball. By then, the ACC downstream effect should be in motion and all the defunct/current college conferences can be done.

Pac 12 expansion video ?

My issue is when the quad city storm are mentioned it's not true that they were the ice gators. they were actually just the mallards in the echl but due to no franchise wanting them as a affiliate they rebranded down to the storm by a fan vote here in the quad cities along with changing leagues

[@d1_360]

Both things are true. They were the Mallards in the ECHL, but the SPHL charter they purchased was the dormant Louisiana IceGators. The newspaper clipping at 10:54 from the Quad-City Times on 5/24/18 quotes Commissioner Jim Combs saying "the Quad-Cities franchise replaces the dormant Louisiana IceGators after the league's board of governors approved the transfer of majority ownership." Btw, I've loved visiting The MARK (old name)!
