Take it for whatever it's worth, but ECHL's commissioner Brian McKenna said everyone else is still good to go at this point for 2009-10.

This makes 5 during the season (Dayton, Phoenix, Mississippi, Augusta, Fresno), plus Pensacola before the season.

I've heard that rumor too, especially with their owners having bought the Phantoms.

The ECHL is falling. This only makes the IHL have a better chance.

IHL's not that strong either.

They'll probably lose a couple of teams.

It would probably behoove the ECHL, IHL and CHL to merge into one. It'd create some great natural rivalries.

I would love for this to happen. I'm sick of playing the same team 12 times in a regular season.

It'll never happen. The egos running each of the leagues are too large.

Well I am sure once the league adopts the "new" nhl style rules concerning "staged" fights (a extra 10 min. misc.) and the added enforcement on the "instigator" rule on fights resulting from checks the league will do much, much better.

After all don't we all watch hockey for fancy skating and pretty passing?
