With the affiliation agreement ending between the Minnesota Wild and Allen Americans, the NHL club needed a new ECHL team to connect to and they just found the best looking team in existence.
The new expansion club based out of Coralville, Iowa, the Iowa Heartlanders, are now the ECHL affiliate of the Wild.
Welcome to the family, @GoHeartlanders!
The #mnwild announced a multi-year #ECHL affiliation agreement with the Iowa Heartlanders beginning with the 2021-22 season.
