ECHL Expansion 2012-13
Looks like the ECHL is getting busy.
The San Francisco Bulls already have a website and are selling 2012-13 season tickets for their first season at the Cow Palace.
And a new team for Orlando (first for downtown O-town since the Solar Bears left in 2001, although a couple of attempts were made in Kissimmee) should be approved shortly if the Orlando Sentinel has it right.

Now all the ECHL needs to do is award that expansion membership...but I see no reason why they won't.

The Gamblers are a junior hockey team...I don't know if this will ever happen, but I would sure enjoy seeing the Milwaukee players start out in Green Bay!

Unlikely -- if anything, motion has been in the other direction, with a number of teams (mostly CHL teams in Texas, but a couple of California ECHL teams, too) dropping down to the NAHL to save money.

Memphis ECHL Expansion
Rumour is of a group investors are ready to apply for a ECHL expansion franchise for Memphis playing out of the Fed EX Form. The River kings play across the border and downgraded from the Central Hockey to the SPHL.
