The Flames released a statement to the press today confirming the rumor they will be moving their AHL affiliate to the Quad Cities area in Moline IL.
The short-lived Omaha Knights were last in attendance in the AHL during their inaugural season and 25th in the league last year (despite having a relatively successful team). There have been rumors of losses in the area of $2 million associated with the Omaha Franchise.
Here is the Knights (Flames?) new arena. It looks pretty swanky.
Here is a webpage for the soon-to-be team.
Thanks for the (brief encounter) memories Omaha!
