Pete Dougherty of the Albany Times Union broke major news for the New Jersey Devils’ AHL affiliate earlier today. Sources have reported to the paper that the Albany Devils are set to move to Binghamton, New York next season. According to the article, the move is expected to be approved by the American Hockey League officials this weekend during the AHL All-Star weekend.
Dougherty’s article focuses on the main driver for this move: the business the A-Devils have done at the Times Union Center. Albany Devils attendance has been near or at the bottom of the AHL despite the team playing much better in the last few seasons.
