#19forPresident! 1 Report post Posted June 20, 2009 The Toledo Storm was the Wings ECHL affiliate for years before the team disbanded when the city decided to build a new arena. So the Walleye are kind of just picking up where they left off after the new arena deal was sealed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vladiator 116 Report post Posted June 20, 2009 That affiliation is kind of what I was hoping for (even if is still the ECHL). Will probably buy season tickets now. Hopefully in the near future the Griffs get moved to the Toledo arena. That almost happened about 10 years ago until Carty (the mayor of Toledo who is being recalled now) f***ed up that deal. Good news!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good news!!! God man, that was when I was living in Perrysburg and still in high school, the site was like 2 miles from my house I was so pissed when it fell through. Gotta love how 9 times out of 10 typical political bureaucracy craps on the good will of the people instead of ensuring it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
