After the Maple Leafs' former ECHL affiliate, The Newfoundland Growlers, disbanded earlier this year, the blue and white have been searching for a team to replace them. The search is now over, as the Maple Leafs announced their brand new affiliation on X/Twitter.
The Cyclones jerseys feature a predominately red colour, which is a new colour for Maple Leafs hockey, but then again, the black and gold in Newfoundland was a bit different as well.
The ECHL 2024-25 regular season, is set to start on Friday October 18th. The Cyclones play their first game October 19th, and home opener October 26th.
