I read that headline as Canadian Hockey League.
Am I reading it correct?

Awesome news! Higher level hockey in Wichita finally. Not that the ECHL is awesome or anything, but I have to assume the product we see in Wichita is going to improve. Might actually go to a game or two this season now!

Nice to see Quad City with a hockey team.
I see Denver didn't move over so I guess they are toast, also Arizona and St. Charles. Our once own Captain Morgan was playing for Arizona.

We've known forever that the Oiler franchise had gone south.
