Lots of talk a year ago about Hamilton getting a hockey team of some level and it looks like it will be happening, although not the Marlies like a lot of people seemed to be convinced of. The AHL Bridgeport Islanders are apparently moving to Hamilton for next season. The team is owned by the NHL club so it would be staying as an Islanders affiliate. Hasn't been confirmed or announced by the team or league yet but it's being widely reported now.
