San Jose, CA (SportsNetwork.com) - The American Hockey League made it official on Thursday, announcing the creation of a Pacific Division to begin play next season consisting of five relocated NHL affiliates. Representatives from the Flames, Oilers, Kings, Ducks and Sharks organizations joined league president David Andrews at SAP Center to reveal their primary minor-league teams will set up shop in California for the 2015-16 campaign. Relocating five teams is a complex process, and we are very excited to have brought this initiative to a successful outcome, said Andrews. The Western- based NHL clubs have been in dialogue with our league for almost three years, and todays announcement launches a new era for the American Hockey League and for professional hockey in California. After one season in Glens Falls, New York, the Flames have uprooted their affiliate once again -- this time, to Stockton, California. The Ducks were allowed to purchase their affiliate and place it in San Diego, while the Sharks will see their AHL team play in the SAP Center but will not bear the nickname of their NHL parent. The Oilers will embrace Bakersfield, CA and the Kings have dropped their primary affiliate in Ontario, nearly 40 miles to the east. Manchester, New Hampshire had housed Los Angeles farm club since 2001, while Norfolk, Virginia had been home to the Admirals at the AHL level since the franchise jumped from the ECHL in 2000. Calgary relocated its affiliate from Abbotsford, British Columbia prior to this season, while Worcester, Massachusetts played host to the Sharks since 2006 and also welcomed the IceCats from 1994-2005. Edmonton placed its AHL team in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma starting in 2010. The immense growth of the game of hockey in the state of California shows that hockey fans here love the game and they support it, said Sharks COO John Tortora. Having our top prospects playing on the same coast as our National Hockey League team will greatly enhance our ability to monitor and enhance their development. We are extremely excited to have this division become a reality and we cant wait for October 2015. Sneakers Online Store Uk .

Winnipeg Goldeyes manager Rick Forney announced today the signing of right-handed pitcher Kyle Bellamy and left-handed pitcher Kyle Anderson to contracts for the 2014 season. Bellamy, 26, missed all of last season recovering from Tommy John surgery. He last pitched in 2012 in the Chicago White Sox organization, splitting time between Class A Advanced Winston-Salem of the Carolina League and Class AA Birmingham of the Southern League. He had no record, a 1.65 ERA and four saves in 18 appearances out of the bullpen with Winston-Salem. In 16 relief appearances with Birmingham, he went 1-2 with a 4.68 ERA. “Were going to give him the opportunity to pitch the ninth inning for us,” Forney said. “He had a lot of success with the White Sox organization. Unfortunately, hes had a couple seasons where hes missed significant time because of injury that has somewhat derailed his professional career. Were excited to have him. Hes a sidearm pitcher with a lot of deception in his delivery. We think he can be the perfect fit for us at the back of the bullpen.” Bellaamy was selected by the White Sox in the fifth round of the 2009 MLB Amateur Draft and played three seasons in their system, including parts of two summers at Class AA.dddddddddddd He missed the entire 2011 season due to a shoulder injury. He attended spring training with the White Sox earlier this month before being released. Anderson, 23, has played the last two seasons in the Toronto Blue Jays organization after being signed as a free agent following his college career at Cal Poly. In 15 starts with Class A Short Season Vancouver of the Northwest League last season, he went 5-3 with a 2.71 ERA. All five of his starts that went at least six innings were quality starts. “Hes a young left-hander that were going to insert into our starting rotation,” Forney said. “He competes well in the strike zone, has tremendous command, great mechanics and hes a really reliable guy. Hes exactly what I was looking for in the back of my rotation.” The Goldeyes now have 23 players signed for the 2014 season, including 12 pitchers and 11 position players. ' ' '
