AHL San Antonio Rampage

Rampage To Compete In Renamed West Division of Western Conference

San Antonio Rampage News Release


SAN ANTONIO - American Hockey League President and CEO David Andrews announced that the league's Board of Governors, convening this week for its Annual Meeting in Hilton Head Island, S.C., has approved new division alignment for the 2013-14 AHL season.

The Rampage will play in the renamed West Division of the Western Conference, which will include Abbotsford, Charlotte, Oklahoma City and Texas.

Changes from last year's alignment include Abbotsford moving to the renamed West Division, Iowa being placed in the Midwest Division and Utica being slotted in the North Division.

The format for the 2014 Calder Cup Playoffs was also approved by the Board of Governors, and remains the same as 2013: Eight teams in each conference will qualify for the postseason, with the three division winners earning the top three seeds and the next five best teams in order of regular-season points seeded fourth through eighth. The conference quarterfinals will be best-of-five series; the conference semifinals, conference finals and Calder Cup Finals will be best-of-seven series. Teams will be re-ordered after the first round so that the highest-remaining seed plays the lowest-remaining seed.

The playing schedule for the 2013-14 regular season, which begins Oct. 4, will be announced later this summer.
