Perhaps the Wahl fiasco was part of the reason the Flames pursued an ECHL affiliation, or did we have the Wranglers or Aces at the time? I don't remember.

Probably at the time we were with the Wranglers. Before the Wranglers I think we were with the Johnstown Chiefs which was pretty cool. The difference now is that we own the Adirondack team and plan to use it as a development team, not just a place to park a prospect who isn't ready for the AHL.
