At least 18 different cities will be impacted in some way by dramatic franchise movement in the AHL and ECHL.
The Winnipeg Jets announced Monday morning that they'll reincarnate the old Manitoba Moose of the AHL when they relocate their AHL franchise, the St. John's Ice Caps, to Winnipeg for the 2015-16 season.
The move is just one of more than a dozen moves that have taken place in the lower levels of hockey this year, most of which stem from the big western migration of five AHL teams from the northeast to the west coast.
