Update Map
[edit]Now that the Alaska Aces have dissolved and there's no longer a team in Alaska, can someone update the map with the locations of the teams to have the same formatting as the maps on the NHL & AHL pages. Those maps give a better indication of the conferences and states that the teams are in. I don't know how to do it so I would appreciate it if someone could do it.

Also, when you click on the map to enlarge it, all the dots and city names disappear. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.35.179.234 (talk) 19:22, 5 February 2018 (UTC)
- The map is a rough template, not an image. We would need a custom SVG file for that. Yosemiter (talk) 19:56, 5 February 2018 (UTC)
27 current teams, 2 future teams in 2018-19 and possibly Reno, Nevada in the state where the Vegas Golden Knights in the NHL debuted in 2017-18. This makes 30 teams vs 31 NHL teams, unless the Reno team will have 2 NHL teams to share an affiliate. 5 NHL teams don't have an affiliate in the ECHL in 2018. And the Golden Knights affiliate Quad City Mallards suspended play in the 2018-19 season (now 26 teams). 67.49.89.214 (talk) 02:35, 1 May 2018 (UTC)
- The season is on-going and the Mallards are a part of that, so they will not be removed until the playoffs are done. Reno is highly speculative, especially since there is no suitable arena. Reno is mentioned in the possible expansion section already, and has been since 2003. Yosemiter (talk) 03:07, 1 May 2018 (UTC)

Canadian Teams

The result of the move request was: not moved. Favonian (talk) 21:55, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
ECHL → East Coast Hockey League – The acronym ECHL is ambiguous, as it can refer to the East Coast Hockey League or the (defunct) Eastern Collegiate Hockey League. Other ice hockey league articles use the full name of the league as the title, with acronyms used for corresponding redirect or disambiguation pages, e.g., National Hockey League, United States Hockey League, American Hockey League, etc. The Eastern Collegiate Hockey League folded in 2012, and the article is currently a stub that receives an average of 2 views per day and has not been edited since 2022. The ECHL article on the other hand averages more than 1,000 views per day. Therefore, I suggest that the ECHL acronym be used as a redirect to the East Coast Hockey League. In other words, I'm proposing a straight across swap between the current ECHL article and the current East Coast Hockey League redirect page.

- Note: The second proposal, East Coast Hockey League → ECHL, had to be removed because the former is a redirect, and redirects are ineligible to be current titles in move requests. P.I. Ellsworth , ed. put'er there 05:35, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose: It is simply not the name of the league. "ECHL" hasn't been an acronym for some time; it is legitimately the proper name of the league. Someone looking for the Eastern Collegiate Hockey League -- a loop defunct for over a decade -- who comes here instead? That's what the dab note is for. Ravenswing 20:27, 30 June 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose. "ECHL" is the name of the league. It's not short for anything. Also a justified primary topic. 162 etc. (talk) 22:13, 30 June 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose the collegiate topic would not be primary. If the minor pro league moves, then a disambiguation page should be at the base location. But there's no point in swapping it around, if you're not going to change the primarity. -- 64.229.90.32 (talk) 04:40, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose move. It's been a long time since ECHL officially stood for anything. O.N.R. (talk) 09:32, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
- For over twenty years, yes. Longer than it was "East Coast Hockey League." Ravenswing 03:20, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
- Agree it officially the ECHL but still called East Coast Hockey League I would change it to avoid confusion with the Eastern Collegiate Hockey League 2603:8001:2902:64F4:6442:650F:912E:C351 (talk) 23:01, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose - besides "ECHL" officially being an orphan initialism ("East Coast Hockey League" was officially done away with over 20 years ago), the active, 40-year-old minor-league ECHL is undoubtedly the primary topic over a non-NCAA hockey conference that's been defunct for over a decade.
