The AHL and Other Minor League Hockey

Resources on the AHL and North America's other minor pro hockey leagues, including the ECHL, UHL and CHL.
American Hockey League
The AHL is the top minor professional league, where NHL teams store their prospects and reserves.
The ECHL (East Coast Hockey League)
Don't call it the East Coast Hockey League anymore. Its name has been officially changed to "the ECHL." Go figure. Its teams are scattered from the eastern seaboard to the deep south.
United Hockey League
Some may remember the UHL by its former name, the Colonial Hockey League.
Central Hockey League
Since its merger with the Western Professional Hockey League in 2001, the CHL has grown to encompass teams all over the American south and midwest.
The Southern Professional Hockey League
Another league built from the ashes of the Atlantic Coast League, also taking in teams from the defunct South East League and WHA2. As the name suggests, it's based in the American south.
MLN Sports Zone
A monthly online magazine with feature articles on minor pro sports.
