Scorch gets no second chance. Team Mascot will also be a Norse God

The mascot as well, will be the same image, but a bit less aggressive.

“Obviously, the character will have a friendly touch to it as mascots need to in this day and age,” Petrovek said.

Are they going to be our ECHL affiliate? Are they part of our organization?

Yes. The Calgary Flames Limited Partnership own and will run the team. They have been purchased, unlike the Eagles which the Flames just pay an affiliation fee to. The Flames will also have complete control of the roster. All signings will go through them.

The Calgary Flames Limited Partnership will own the NHL, AHL and ECHL team.

The better question is do the Flames keep the ECHL team or do they sell it in the near future. They bought the ECHL team but that was primarily to get the lease with the Stockton Arena.

By not using a Flames related name in the Thunder, they are building a brand in Adirondack they can divest themselves of later to an independent buyer. If it was a Flames related name, the Calgary Flames would have to keep it and any potential buyer would have to start over again.

I don't think it makes much business sense for a NHL team to own an ECHL team. In fact before the rumblings of the AHL Pacific division came up the LA Kings were the only NHL team that owned part of an ECHL team in an arena that their parent company managd.

Aren't the Oilers doing the same thing as well? They've owned the Condors since Jan 2014.

Shortly after they acquired the Condors the AHL Pacific division stories started coming out. They arguably only bought the ECHL team for the lease too.
