Apparently Orlando will now again host a professional (albeit minor league) hockey team.

Chris at Icethetics included this news in a post about happenings in October.  Evidently the ECHL has approved an expansion team in Orlando playing at the Amway center where the Orlando Magic play, or would play if not for the NBA lockout.  This is pretty cool news for Florida hockey fans.  It makes me wonder about the likelihood of the Panthers changing affiliation from the Cyclones to this new as yet unnamed team.
