LA used to do something similar when Ontario was there ECHL affiliate and Manchester was their AHL affiliate. They would send a prospect they knew they were going to call up to the NHL to Ontario and then call him up to the NHL when they needed him. Instead of having to fly from the Atlantic coast overnight, the prospect was 45 minutes away in Ontario when they needed him.

I could be wrong but was Ontario not their affiliate in California? Ontario Reign
