The '''ECHL''' (formerly the '''East Coast Hockey League''') is a [[professional]] [[ice hockey]] league based in [[Princeton, New Jersey]], with teams scattered across the [[United States]] and [[Canada]], generally regarded as a tier below the [[American Hockey League]]. The ECHL's official website lists the league as "The Premier AA" league of hockey in North America, because most teams serve as feeder teams for [[American Hockey League]] teams. Hockey generally does not use letter-designations to define their league's levels, but the ECHL has tried for years to establish such a pecking order, with some success.

== History ==
{| align=center border=0 cellpadding=4 cellspacing=4 style="border: 1px solid #C9C; background-color: #ddf"
The league, which combined teams from the defunct [[Atlantic Coast Hockey League]] and [[All-American Hockey League]], began play as the East Coast Hockey League in 1988 with 5 teams, the [[Carolina Thunderbirds]] (now the [[Wheeling Nailers]]), the Erie Panthers (now the [[Victoria Salmon Kings]]), the [[Johnstown Chiefs]], the [[Knoxville Cherokees]] (the franchise, as the [[Pee Dee Pride]], is currently suspended, to resume play in [[Conway, South Carolina]] in [[2009-10 ECHL season|2009-10]]), and the [[Virginia Lancers]] (now the [[Utah Grizzlies]]).

== Wikipedia Weekly Episode 63 ==
[[Image:2008-09 ECHL map.png|400px|right]]


Hello! [[Wikipedia:WikipediaWeekly|Wikipedia Weekly]] [[Wikipedia:WikipediaWeekly/Episode63|Episode 63]], an interview with Florence Devouard, has been released. You can listen and comment at [http://wikipediaweekly.org/2008/10/03/episode-63-interview-with-florence/ the episode's page] and, as always, listen to all of the past episodes at [http://www.wikipediaweekly.org wikipediaweekly.org]. [[User:WODUPbot|'''<span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#0000CC">W<span style="color:#000066">ODU</span>P<span style="color:#666666">bot</span></span>''']] 06:57, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
Since that time, the ECHL has met with a mixture of failures and successes, reaching its largest size in [[2003-04 ECHL season|2003]] of 31 teams before being reduced to 28 teams for the [[2004-05 ECHL season|2004 season]]. In September 2002, the [[West Coast Hockey League]] ceased operations, and the ECHL Board of Governors approved membership applications from the [[Alaska Aces|Anchorage (now Alaska) Aces]], the [[Bakersfield Condors]], the [[Fresno Falcons]], the [[Idaho Steelheads]], the [[Las Vegas Wranglers]], the [[Long Beach Ice Dogs]] and the [[San Diego Gulls (1995-2006)|San Diego Gulls]] as well as from teams in [[Ontario, California]] and [[Reno, Nevada]]. Alaska, Bakersfield, Fresno, Idaho, Las Vegas, Long Beach and San Diego began play in the [[2003-04 ECHL season|2003-04 season]] as expansion teams.

The teams from the defunct lower-level WCHL, along with Las Vegas, joined as expansion teams for the ECHL’s 16th season in 2003-04. In a change reflective of the nationwide presence of the ECHL, the East Coast Hockey League changed its name to simply ECHL on [[May 19]], [[2003]].


== Account creator permission ==
The league, because of geographical anomalies, continues to use unbalanced conferences and divisions, which has in the past made for some extremely varied playoff formats and limited interconference play. Due to travel costs, the league has attempted to placate owners in keeping those costs down, which has led to the sometimes-odd playoff structures. The league currently (as of [[2008-09 ECHL season|2008]]) consists of ten West Coast-based teams in the National Conference, and thirteen eastern, midwestern and southern teams in the American Conference.


I've cancelled your accountcreator flag as you don't seem to be using it. (See [[WP:RPE]] for details of when this flag may be withdrawn.) If you need it again and are going to use it, let me know. [[User:Stifle|Stifle]] ([[User talk:Stifle/wizard|talk]]) 16:01, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
In the past four years, the ECHL has attempted to be more tech-friendly to its fans. Some improvements on the league's website have included a new schedule and statistics engine powered by League Stat, Inc. (introduced in [[2006-07 ECHL season|2006]]), internet radio coverage for most teams, and pay-per view broadcasting of ECHL games through B2 Netwroks. In 2008, the league introduced the ECHL toolbar for internet browsers which gave users short cut access to statistics, scores, transactions, and news updates.<ref>{{cite web | last = | first = | title = ECHL Toolbar Available Now | publisher = ECHL | date = July 14, 2008 | url = http://www.echl.com/cgi-bin/mpublic.cgi?action=show_news&cat=1&id=15674| accessdatee = July 15, 2008}}</ref>

== Defunct and relocated teams ==
Teams that no longer play within the ECHL are listed below. Many of the former teams which had not moved are considered to have suspended operations and the franchises placed for sale, but in reality are and were simply financial failures, similar to defunct teams in all other minor league sports histories.


== [[WP:Adopt-a-User|AAU]] reminder notice ==
While the ECHL stated in recent years they would not grant voluntary suspensions of franchises for more than one year, both the Toledo Storm and Mississippi Sea Wolves have had two-year suspensions -- the Sea Wolves because of [[Hurricane Katrina]] and the Storm in order to demolish their present arena and construct a new arena on the site. The new owners of the Toledo franchise, the businessmen who own the area AAA-baseball team the [[Toledo Mud Hens]], have stated they will choose a new name for the team. Toledo Arena Sports General Manager Joe Napoli and Toledo Arena Sports President Mike Miller unveiled the new name on [http://www.toledowalleye.com/news/ February 20, 2008]. The Mississippi Sea Wolves resumed play for the 2007-2008 season, while the Toledo Walleye will return to play for the 2009-2010 season.

== [[Wikipedia:Mediation Cabal/Cases/2008-08-24 Federal Republic of Yugoslavia in the Eurovision Song Contest|Mediation Cabal]]:[[Yugoslavia in the Eurovision Song Contest]] ==
== ECHL Hall of Fame ==
In celebration of the league's 20th year of play, the ECHL Board of Governors created the ECHL Hall of Fame in 2008, to recognize the achievements of players, coaches, and personnel who dedicated their careers to the league. Hall of Fame members are selected in four categories: Player, Developmental Player, Builder, and Referee/Linesman. Players must have concluded their career as an active player for a minimum of three playing seasons, though not continuous or full seasons. Development Players must have begun their career in the ECHL and went on to a distinguished career in the NHL, playing a minimum of 260 regular season games in the NHL, AHL and ECHL. Builders may be active or inactive whereas Referee/Linesman must have concluded their active officiating career for a minimum of three playing seasons.

No more than five candidates are elected to the Hall of Fame each year with no more than three Players, one Developmental Player, two Builders and one Referee/Linesman. The Builder and the Referee/Linesman categories are dependent upon the number of candidates in the Player category.


I would like to express my protest regarding the solution of the case: [[Wikipedia:Mediation Cabal/Cases/2008-08-24 Federal Republic of Yugoslavia in the Eurovision Song Contest|Mediation Cabal: FRY in the ESC]]. I wasnt active then so I couldnt get involved.
The nomination and subsequent selection of candidates is determined by the ECHL Hall of Fame Selection Committee which is appointed by the ECHL.
I have provided an elaborated explanation of the problem including sources: '''[[Talk:Yugoslavia in the Eurovision Song Contest#Important|HERE]]''', but first, please let me give you a basic intro:


The merge of: [[Yugoslavia in the Eurovision Song Contest]] with [[Federal Republic of Yugoslavia in the Eurovision Song Contest]] was wrong. The "pro-merge" editors have outvoted the only opponent, user: Imbris, though they havent provided any '''serious''' sources or a good rationale. They often refer to the yugoslav page at the official ESC site: eurovision.tv which has some unforgivable mistakes, and also they havent took into serious consideration the complex Yugoslav history.
The ECHL Hall of Fame Inaugural Class was inducted during the 2008 [[ECHL All-Star Game]] festivities at [[Stockton Arena]] in [[Stockton, California]] and included ECHL founder [[Henry Brabham]], the ECHL's first commissioner [[Patrick J. Kelly]], and former players [[Nick Vitucci]] and [[Chris Valicevic]]

#[[Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia]] (SFRY): a federation of 6 constituent countries and 2 autonomous provinces, existed until 1991~92. Internationaly recognized, a founding member of the UN, and often refered to as simply ''Yugoslavia'' (as the [[Republic of France]] is refered to as simply France in the ESC). Under the name ''Yugoslavia'', SFRY particpated in the ESC for 40 years since 1961. It was the [[Eurovision Song Contest 1989|1989]] winner and a founding member of [[European Broadcasting Union|EBU]] in the 1950's. Its clear that the meaning of the title ''Yugoslavia in the ESC'' should cover SFRY.
== References ==
#[[Federal Republic of Yugoslavia]] (FRY): a federation formed during the [[breakup of Yugoslavia|breakup of the real Yugoslavia]]. FRY comprised only Serbia and Montenegro, it has absolutely no relevance in the ESC context, as it participated only once in 1992, under very questionable circumstances, represented by the singer Extra Nena. After its establishment, FRY was not recognized as a legal succesor of Yugoslavia by the UN or by any relevant organization.


Conclusion: SFRY and FRY were 2 different countries, [[de facto]], [[de jure]] and under the international law. The fact that FRY was a self-proclaimed "[[Yugoslavia]]" means nothing, as that was not approved by the UN or the international community. Hence, the article should be split in two:

Hello Dendodge. At [[WT:AN]] you proposed a new section button. Can I ask what problem this is addressing? We did something similar at the 3RR noticeboard, but that one required a complex form. (See the button 'Click here to add a new report.') I don't know whether your need is the same. [[User:EdJohnston|EdJohnston]] ([[User talk:EdJohnston|talk]]) 03:09, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

please forgive me if I've put this in the wrong place. I've used wikipedia for at least two years now but still know little about what's an accepted source, when to edit or not, how to create new pages, and probably many other things. I'm a fan of fantasy books, films, and TV shows and frequently look these things up. I also frequently look up history. I have had a dispute on the talk page of Joan of Arc for a while now, but I haven't meant to annoy anyone. Would you be willing to adopt me? <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/98.209.65.16|98.209.65.16]] ([[User talk:98.209.65.16|talk]]) 20:09, 10 October 2008 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

Mediation Cabal:Yugoslavia in the Eurovision Song Contest

I would like to express my protest regarding the solution of the case: Mediation Cabal: FRY in the ESC. I wasnt active then so I couldnt get involved. I have provided an elaborated explanation of the problem including sources: HERE, but first, please let me give you a basic intro:

The merge of: Yugoslavia in the Eurovision Song Contest with Federal Republic of Yugoslavia in the Eurovision Song Contest was wrong. The "pro-merge" editors have outvoted the only opponent, user: Imbris, though they havent provided any serious sources or a good rationale. They often refer to the yugoslav page at the official ESC site: eurovision.tv which has some unforgivable mistakes, and also they havent took into serious consideration the complex Yugoslav history.

Here's a basic info:

  1. Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (SFRY): a federation of 6 constituent countries and 2 autonomous provinces, existed until 1991~92. Internationaly recognized, a founding member of the UN, and often refered to as simply Yugoslavia (as the Republic of France is refered to as simply France in the ESC). Under the name Yugoslavia, SFRY particpated in the ESC for 40 years since 1961. It was the 1989 winner and a founding member of EBU in the 1950's. Its clear that the meaning of the title Yugoslavia in the ESC should cover SFRY.
  2. Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (FRY): a federation formed during the breakup of the real Yugoslavia. FRY comprised only Serbia and Montenegro, it has absolutely no relevance in the ESC context, as it participated only once in 1992, under very questionable circumstances, represented by the singer Extra Nena. After its establishment, FRY was not recognized as a legal succesor of Yugoslavia by the UN or by any relevant organization.

Conclusion: SFRY and FRY were 2 different countries, de facto, de jure and under the international law. The fact that FRY was a self-proclaimed "Yugoslavia" means nothing, as that was not approved by the UN or the international community. Hence, the article should be split in two:

  1. Yugoslavia in the Eurovision Song Contest (with redirect from Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia in the Eurovision Song Contest)
  2. Federal Republic of Yugoslavia

Thanks for your time and please check the link, and also the rest of my discussions on the Yugoslav ESC talk page. Note: "Jugovizija" refers to the national pre-selection.--Dzole (talk) 19:38, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

New section button

Hello Dendodge. At WT:AN you proposed a new section button. Can I ask what problem this is addressing? We did something similar at the 3RR noticeboard, but that one required a complex form. (See the button 'Click here to add a new report.') I don't know whether your need is the same. EdJohnston (talk) 03:09, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
