anyone want to go to Springfield, MA? NO

[SaveOurPirates @AllHands0nDeck]

@Chris_MHJ do you think with NHL expansion, this obviously paves the way for a new AHL affiliate, that could be Portland? 17-18

[SaveOurPirates @AllHands0nDeck]

drove by the @CrossArena today & the ARGGHHH @PortlandPirates banner has been taken down in the lobby. Sad day. All becoming more realistic

[SaveOurPirates @AllHands0nDeck]

@TheAHL nice to see that you are having ahl corporate people help out on the executive side with Springfield's team, never helped us here

[Mike McKenna @MikeMcKenna56]

So many memories. Thank you, Portland!

[SaveOurPirates @AllHands0nDeck]

@AnimalMetal430 @PressHerald @wyshynski @PortlandPirates this is Portland Maine I think you're thinking of Portland, OR??

[SaveOurPirates @AllHands0nDeck]

@NateRossetti @Diane58622639 come on board as the affiliate. if so, could be HUGE.

[SaveOurPirates @AllHands0nDeck]

@NateRossetti @Diane58622639 agreed, the old logo and keeping the name with resonate with Fans old and new. The key will be, can @NHLBruins

[SaveOurPirates @AllHands0nDeck]

@Diane58622639 trust me I agree, however, the casual fan will love the ECHL pricing and hardcore style

[SaveOurPirates @AllHands0nDeck]

@nicolesorce 2/2 larger concerts are looking for outdoor venues spring-fall, and the Cross Arena is too small for most national acts

[SaveOurPirates @AllHands0nDeck]

@nicolesorce Certainly was necessary, but they've done an absolutely terrible job at booking events. The landscape has changed though...1/2

[SaveOurPirates @AllHands0nDeck]

@Diane58622639 @PressHerald why is this?

[SaveOurPirates @AllHands0nDeck]

@AnimalMetal430 @PressHerald @wyshynski @PortlandPirates I dont get it?

[SaveOurPirates @AllHands0nDeck]

@hfialkov the Pirates moved was not approved, they are to vote on this again in 2 weeks. The Tucson was conditionally approved

[Portland Press Herald @PressHerald]

BREAKING: Former @PortlandPirates player, owner bringing ECHL team to Portland #hockey https://t.co/DLSfmUGUty

[SaveOurPirates @AllHands0nDeck]

@Chris_MHJ @ECHL @PortlandPirates and original logo, from what I hear

[SaveOurPirates @AllHands0nDeck]

@nicolesorce I am sure its part of the plan, Church and Wood arent stupid. The ECHL also offers the older style of hockey which Mainers like

[SaveOurPirates @AllHands0nDeck]

Congratulations to @Cali_Sharp on resigning with @FlaPanthers . Great community guy and hard worker. Wherever they end up, cheers!

[SaveOurPirates @AllHands0nDeck]

@WCSHSPORTSGUY Have you heard about any other groups and who they might be or intentions?

[SaveOurPirates @AllHands0nDeck]

@BenHubb @WCSH6 As hardcore fans WE want the AHL, thats all we know. The casual fan could care less and will enjoy the upped fighting

[SaveOurPirates @AllHands0nDeck]

@cknoblock17 had no idea, but makes sense. Travel will certainly be a concern in ECHL, but like I said, Godfrey Wood may have money to use
