Read on HF today that the Dallas Stars are pulling their farm team from Iowa, and planning on relocating to Austin, TX with the provision that Des Moines gets a new team as well..
From what I've read (and seen here), Omaha and Iowa had a decent rivalry, has that transferred at all to the Quad Cities?

PS: I'd call it the Battle of Iowa but I know your rink is in Illinois, didn't want to ignore those of you from the Land of Lincoln.
