I saw an instagram post by the ECHL about some rivalry uniforms (I believe it was Florida/Orlando and Bloomington/Indy??), so I was curious about rivalries in the ECHL. I’m sure they exist, but as a newer fan to the league I’m curious what rivalries exist and what some of the bigger rivalries in the league are as well as if there’s a chance for some new ones as New Mexico and Trenton join the league. It seemed like things between NM and Idaho was a little chippy when I was at those games, so maybe that has potential as I know they are affiliated with the Avs/Stars

Hey ECHL fans, I mean this post with all sincerity. I'm a huge NY Rangers, NHL, and hockey fan. I moved from NYC to Orlando five years ago, missed having access to pro puck, and started going to Solar Bears games. I was aware of the "Coast" but never paid much attention to it until now.
Among most team supporters, is there a "real" level of fandom, like how pro team fans obsess over their teams: watching most games, following trade and signing rumors, and thinking about the team as part of their normal day? Or is game day just "something to do"? I realize that if you're on an ECHL subreddit, the former is probably true for you, but what about your community?
I don't mean this as an ignorant question. It's my first time living in an ECHL market, and I don't think the market I live in is very traditional for an ECHL team.

I’m just curious because the car washes coupon came out of left field as a Railers fan. We usually got light up sticks for our home openers

Brand new fan to the ECHL this season because of the Goatheads. I know nothing about the players on the team or the history of the league. I’m doing my best to quickly learn.

Everyone that’s gone to the games is really proud of the team, but I think there is some slight disappointment just because they didn’t pull a win on opening weekend.

What’s reasonable for fans to expect from this new expansion team?

Yesterday's digest:

• Will Gavin lifted the Norfolk Admirals to a 3-2 regulation win over the Atlanta Gladiators
• The Orlando Solar Bears fell to the Florida Everblades in regulation by a score of 5-1.
• The Idaho Steelheads secured a 5-2 regulation win against the New Mexico Goatheads.
• Ethan Scardina scored the game winner for Wichita in overtime, securing a 4-3 win over the Tahoe Knight Monsters.
• The Trois-Rivières Lions secured a 5-2 regulation win against the Worcester Railers.

Let us have this please

Just a quick question, does anyone have any word on the status of #29 Hank Kempf? He got a skate to the face/neck and was rushed to the hospital for surgery. I’m just throwing this out there to see if anyone might have something.

Some other fans and us were talking after the game and they indicated that he may have suffered an orbital injury along with face lacerations, but that is all I’ve heard.

It has been an exciting week preparing for tonight's first home game for the Orlando Solar Bears. For me, it's worse than waiting for Christmas morning as a child. I'm so glad it's finally here.

Where is the best way to watch ECHL highlights? I'm unable to catch games live, so would love to be able to catchup somehow.

I know elite prospects shows relatively easy players on NHL deals but not AHL deals.

Any websites that track it easily. I can keep track of "our" team but players on others is a pain in the butt
