About

European Inter-State Ice Hockey Leagues give teams in smaller countries a chance to compete at a higher level on a regular basis as well as playing in their own National Leagues. The East European Hockey League (Ukraine, Belarus, Latvia, Lithuania), Alpen League (Austria, Italy, Slovenia), Cup of the Lowlands (Belgium, Netherlands), Atlantic League (France, Netherlands, Denmark), and Balkan League (Romania, Bulgaria, Yugoslavia) were the European Inter-State Leagues of 1996-97. Each of these countries had either competed in the World Championships in 1996, either in Pool A without qualifying for the Final Stages (Italy, Austria, France), Pool B (Latvia, Switzerland, Belarus, Denmark, Netherlands), Pool C (Ukraine, Slovenia, Romania) or Pool D (Lithuania, Yugoslavia, Belgium, Bulgaria).

Report

The ECHL is a AA American Ice Hockey League, equivalent to Division 3 in English Football terms (Modern Day League 1). It is aligned with the NHL (National Hockey League) the Premier League of Ice Hockey in North America which has Head Offices in both Toronto and New York as well as teams throughout Canada and USA. Kalamazoo Wings of the International Hockey League joined the ECHL (an orphaned acronym meaning East Coast Hockey League) in 2009-10. The team is famous for being the first to dye their home ice green for a match on St. Patrick’s Day – a tradition started on March 17th 1982 by Boston Irish-American Steve Doherty, the teams Public Relations Officer. It is as tradition which they still maintain to this day.

A fifth Division – the North Division – was required within the ECHL for this expansion – and the Wings won it the first three years of their history in the ECHL. After slipping to second place in the division in 2012-13 they won the North Division title again in 2013-14. Kalamazoo Wings lost in the Eastern Conference Quarter-Finals 3 games to 2 to Reading Royals in 2009-10; In 2010-11 they made it all the way to the Kelly Cup (another Irish Connection) but lost to Western Conference Champions Alaska Aces 4 games to 1. They made it to the Eastern Conference Finals the following year losing 4-1 to Florida Everblades, and in 2013-14 after a year absent from the playoffs they lost in the Eastern Conference Quartet-Finals 4 games to 2 to Greenville Road Warriors.

For the 2014-15 season the Central Hockey League, based primarily in Texas and the Prairie States merged with the ECHL creating a sixth division. ECHL once stood for East Coast Hockey League but merged with numerous other regional AA leagues until it became a National League, thus dropping the East Coast Hockey League name and just going by the orphaned acronym ECHL. The Kelly Cup is named after Patrick J. Kelly, one of the founding fathers of the ECHL, who retired in 1996. Prior to 1997 when the Cup was named after him the Riley Cup was awarded to the ECHL Champions.

The Wings were not only the first to dye the Ice green, but also the first to dye the ice pink in aid of breast cancer.
