"Islanders' AHL Affiliation to Make a Cross-Border Move: Long Island's Minor League Team to Leave Connecticut for Hamilton, Ontario. In a significant development that will have far-reaching implications for hockey fans in the Northeast United States and Southern Ontario, the New York Islanders have announced plans to relocate their American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate from Bridgeport, Connecticut, to Hamilton, Ontario, ahead of the 2024-25 season. The move is expected to bring a new level of excitement to the city of Hamilton, which has a rich hockey history and a passionate fan base. However, the decision will also leave a void in the Bridgeport community, where the team has been a staple of the local sports scene for over two decades."
