I spent half an hour reading a bunch of articles and apparently it's also because parent teams just want their minor league affiliates closer to home so that assigning and recalling players is a lot easier. Which makes sense, but drat, I don't like it
That makes sense. Calgary switched their AHL and ECHL teams in Stockton, CA and Glens Falls, NY a couple years ago.

I didn't like it much at first. But the Adirondack Thunder in Glens Falls actually manage to put on a good/fun to watch game whereas the AHL team kind of blew.

We even get to host the ECHL All Star game in a few weeks. Kind of a win-win in this area at least.
