What a shame...I created Noah Boyd partly because I was hoping he'd be the savior of the franchise.
Oh well, somebody's bound to bring ECHO back to the Port City one day, and maybe "The Flamepoint" can finish his career with that new team.

I LOVE seeing first-time playoff teams...excited to see what the Polars, Spiders & Rams do in their runs.
What's more, it's really neat to see Alexandria FINALLY win a division title after almost 40 years...this is why I've missed this league.

This is the downside of 16 being a hard-cap...it means these eight beautiful brands will remain unused forever.

I'm not seeing any voting links on the poll page, just a "3."
Could you fix that, please?

Congratulations to Grand Rapids, winning their third Kellogg Cup and proving once more why the Moose are and always will be...loose.

And now, here comes the 1986-87 Major Pro Year in Review (with some extra notes)
The Edmonton Oilers have won their third Stanley Cup in four years, defeating the Philadelphia Flyers in seven games. Your Minnesota North Stars went neck-and-neck with the Toronto Maple Leafs for the Norris Division's last playoff spot, with both teams finishing with 70 points (nine behind the St. Louis Blues) but losing a tiebreaker to stay home. Meanwhile, your Winnipeg Jets qualified for the playoffs with a third-place finish in the Smythe Division at 88 points (16 behind the Oilers). After defeating the Calgary Flames 4-2 in the divisional semis, your Jets got swept at the hands of Wayne Gretzky's team in the divisional finals.

However, the North Stars' on-ice struggles pale in comparison to their off-ice ones, Attendance has struggled in recent years, leading team owners the Gund brothers to begin threatening to move the team to the San Francisco Bay Area, a plan the NHL is opposed to.
The US national ice hockey team is set to return for the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary, competing in Group B alongside defending gold medalists the Soviet Union and defending silver medalists Czechoslovakia, along with West Germany, Austria and Norway.
In other major Twin Cities indoor sports news, the NBA has granted Minneapolis-St. Paul one of its four upcoming expansion teams. Set to begin play for the 1989-90 season, the team will be known as the Minnesota Timberwolves (following the ownership group polling counties across the state) and will play their inaugural season at the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome before moving to a proposed new multi
