I like it because most of them give 100% EVERY shift. They all want to make it to the next level and it shows.

One other reason: it might be the only professional hockey team for hundreds of miles.
Good read, Irish Eyes.

Yeah, it's 170 miles for me to go to Raliegh and almost 300 to go to Hotlanta.
So the ECHL is it for me for live pro hockey within an easy drive.
Hey, I got to watch Steve Shields play for the SC Stingrays a few (13

) years ago.
