The Colorado Eagles of the Central Hockey League, a team I covered from inception in the summer of 2002 until the end of the 2004-05 season, has been bumped up to the ECHL.

This is TREMENDOUS news for myself, as I now have the chance to take a quick one-hour drive north of Denver to catch ECHL games. The Eags are in the Western Conference so I'll be able to catch Alaska, Idaho, Victoria, Bakersfield, Ontario, etc.

So exciting, because ECHL goalie prospects are way more viable than Central League goalies. WOO!!!
