Here’s a brief summary of a wooly few months of moves and affiliation swaps.

Edmonton’s AHL team in Oklahoma City moved to Bakersfield (the previous ECHL team moved to Norfolk)
Calgary’s AHL team in Adirondack moved to Stockton (the previous ECHL team moved to Adirondack)
Los Angeles’ AHL team in Manchester moved to Ontario (the previous ECHL team moved to Manchester)
Anaheim’s AHL team in Norfolk moved to San Diego
San Jose’s AHL team in Worcester moved to San Jose
