The commissioner of the ECHL says that Abbotsford is "not on our radar screen."
Brian McKenna spoke with The News late last week, responding to rumblings that the 22-team minor pro hockey circuit was among the leagues eyeing Abbotsford as the American Hockey League's Heat prepare to move.
"We were aware that the American League team was leaving town," McKenna acknowledged. "We have not, now or in the past, been approached by any potential ownership group (from Abbotsford). It's not a market that has had discussion with our executive committee or our board at this point.
"I'm not aware of any team in our league or any current owner in our league that's had any discussion, either. Even if that were the case, it would have to be brought to our board for approval.
"At this point as well, our roster of teams is set for the '14-'15 season. Anything we would do in any market at this point would be for the '15-'16 season."
