I’d venture that almost every Florida Everblades fan would struggle to pick Matthew Wedman out of a lineup. But those same fans certainly adore him right now.

The 2024 Kelly Cup Playoffs are here! After a grueling 72-game season, 16 teams remain in the hunt for the ECHL's top prize.

The Indy Fuel’s Ross MacDougall, backtracking in front of his own net, coughed up the puck to the Wheeling Nailers’ Matt Koopman.

We’re in the stretch run of this ECHL regular season – every team has between 10 and 14 remaining games – and only the Kansas City Mavericks and Idaho Steelheads have locked up playoff spots so far. In other words, so incredibly much has yet to be decided.

Playing in the ECHL can be a grueling endeavor.

Of course, South Carolina Stingrays forward Jack Adams wants to be a hockey coach someday. With that name, how could he not?

From a purely hockey perspective, I don’t know if the Fort Wayne Komets signing Daniel Amesbury was a great idea or not. But I do know it’s going to make for great theater when he debuts this weekend.

The ECHL had already announced Bloomington, Illinois as its latest expansion location, but now we know what the team will be called when the puck drops next season.

The first half of the 2023-2024 ECHL season has seen unbelievable plays, such as the Wichita Thunder’s Michal Stinil pulling off The Michigan Move or the Adirondack Thunder’s Ryan Orgel’s masterful spin-o-rama goal.

When Peter Bates was leaving the junior hockey ranks at age 20, he didn’t think professional hockey was something that would be in his future.

Fiona Quinn wasn’t really thinking about becoming a broadcaster. Not until the last year and a half.

We’re coming up on the ECHL’s Christmas break, which is something players love, of course, but not all coaches do.

Six Mountain Division teams spent last season chasing one – the Idaho Steelheads, who had the best regular season in the history of the ECHL, going 58-11-3 with the top-ranked offense and top-ranked defense in the 28-team league.

There were mass changes in Fort Wayne, Indiana, where the Komets hired a new coach in Jesse Kallechy, after he helped the Florida Everblades to back-to-back Kelly Cups. In Toledo, Ohio, the Walleye also have a new coach, Pat Mikesch, who has never coached in the professional ranks, but he gets a roster that has offensive studs like Brandon Hawkins and Orrin Centazzo.

A little more than six weeks ago, Myles Jack was preparing for his eighth season in the NFL in training camp with the Philadelphia Eagles. On Wednesday afternoon, however, the now former NFL linebacker was announced as the new majority owner of the Allen Americans along with his mother, LaSonjia Jack. Upon completion of their acquisition of the Americans, the Jacks became the first African-American majority owners in ECHL history.
