The Flames suspended the Saint John Flames in 2003, and reached an agreement to send some of their prospects to the Lowell Lock Monsters, Carolina's affiliate, in 2004 and 2005 before resurrecting our dormant franchise in 2006 in Omaha.
As it is, given we only send four or five guys down to the ECHL in any given year, we could get away with simply loaning those players to various ECHL teams as necessary.
