More information regarding the Worcester Railers affiliate for the 2026-27 season will be announced at a later date. #RailersHC pic.twitter.com/Lcfm4wMPVM
It was clear the agreement with Worcester was likely not going to be renewed this time, and I wrote about this enough, want to see the length of this agreement. I will update the prospect site with the changes.
Trenton is a new ECHL affiliate with no association to their past names or time with the NYI affiliation. here.
#NYC #NYI #isles What no one will report is Trenton Ironhawks are the newly relocated former NYI affiliate Utah Grizzilies who had a few past NYI affiliations with @91Butch others from dynasty era. https://t.co/IcMTKHowXB
