Team foldings

The Amarillo Gorillas and the Corpus Christi IceRays folded and both were replaced by a North American Hockey League team.

Expansion

[edit]

On June 1, 2010, the Central Hockey League (CHL) and the International Hockey League (IHL) announced that they would merge and play under the CHL moniker.[1]

On June 10, 2010, it was announced that four IHL teams made the move to the CHL, the Fort Wayne Komets, Bloomington PrairieThunder, Dayton Gems and the Quad City Mallards.[2] It was later announced that the Evansville IceMen would also participate in the league.[3] This is after team ownership in Evansville, Indiana purchased the former IHL Muskegon Lumberjacks franchise.
