The Coyotes have found a new ECHL affiliate, signing a one-year agreement with the Rapid City Rush, the team announced Tuesday.
Arizona had previously been affiliated with the Gwinnett Gladiators since 2011.
"We are excited to partner with the Rapid City Rush as our new ECHL affiliate," General Manager Don Maloney said in a statement released by the team. "The Rush are a first class organization with a very passionate fan base. We look forward to a great partnership."
Rapid City is on the brink of its second season in the ECHL. The South Dakota-based team competes out of the West Division in the Western Conference and is coming off a 37-28-7 campaign.
