Not sure who ended the relationship but it was announced last week we wouldn't be affiliated with Utah anymore. Utah will only be for Calgary. |

WOW! I worked on the Disney park building their new Downtown Disney fracas and thought it couldn't get any more non-hetero than that. After this video, I'm sure I've never seen anything less hetero-friendly in my life. If I have kids and they turn on Disney, they're grounded until they can cage fight. I need to go cry in the shower and try to get clean after that. Thanks, D4Five. I need to get out of my skin now it's so uncomfortable. |

Waiting til after camp when they have the interviews. Under favorite pre-game meals, EVERY PLAYER will list a Swanson $.99 entree (with no dessert). Martinek breaks the mold and cites Louise's $.33 beef burrito as his favorite.

A shrewd move. This way players in the system will already know what playing in a zoo's like when they come to Wang's World. |

the other NHL team affiliated with Utah wanted full control of that team,so they took over and the isles moved on to kalamazoo remember back in 2005 we had a 1 week affilaition with New orleans.. then katrina hit and they were forced to dismantle that team, thus Utah came into paly.. |

This Kalamazoo gig will be shared with The San Jose Sharks. Guess it comes cheap. More cost cutting, just saying. Utah expanded their role with the Flames so to me, this sounded like a bargain opportunity. Just some things many Isles fans aren't aware of. http://www.ksl.com/?nid=294&sid=11683977

I know it's not fair to read into quotes but I'm very very guilty in this instance and hope to heck I' wrong. But Kevin Colley's quote says alot to me. Wonder what happened with our Isles and Utah to end that relationship? Guess NYI.COM, Katie Strang and co. won't be reporting that stuff eh?

I wouldn't read too much into Steve, We've only been with Utah since 2007 and that was because the affiliate in New Orleans that was going to be "ours" had to leave because of Kitrinia. It was already a shared affiliate when we got there and it would seem that Calgary wanted to make a bigger commitment to its ECHL affiliate. How many prospects that turn out to be good really come from the ECHL? Isn't it much more likely to play juniors then move to the AHL and finally the NHL? I think only because we've been icing an AHL team most seasons that we've really been looking at the ECHL to see who might make an impact at the NHL level. |
