ECHL seasons

The 2020–21 ECHL season was the 33rd season of the ECHL. Due to the ongoing restrictions in the COVID-19 pandemic, the start of the regular season was pushed back to December 11, 2020.[1]

The Fort Wayne Komets were the Kelly Cup champions, defeating the South Carolina Stingrays in four games.[2]

League business

Due to the uncertainty of being able to host games in some locations caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, several member teams had not been able to confirm participation in the 2020–21 season and the season start was postponed. In October 2020, thirteen teams confirmed plans to begin to play in December 2020 with others hoping to return in January 2021.[1] All teams had a deadline to voluntarily opt out of the 2020–21 season by November 30,[3] but two teams had been granted extensions: the Fort Wayne Komets and Toledo Walleye.[4] The Komets and Walleye were then approved to postpone their start to February.[5] The league announced its schedule through February 11, 2021.[6]

By December 7, 2020, the other eleven teams had opted out from participating in the season and voluntarily suspended operations: the Adirondack Thunder, Atlanta Gladiators, Brampton Beast, Cincinnati Cyclones, Idaho Steelheads, Kalamazoo Wings, Maine Mariners, Newfoundland Growlers, Norfolk Admirals, Reading Royals, and Worcester Railers.[7][8][9][10] On January 5, 2021, the league announced that Toledo had opted out of the season as well, but that Fort Wayne had finalized plans to start playing on February 12.[11] The league announced a conference-based alignment and its schedule through April 4.[12] The league announced a remainder of the schedule on February 10.[13] Due to COVID-19 related postponements and teams' arenas availability, several games throughout the season were rescheduled or cancelled.

During the season, the Brampton Beast announced the team had ceased operations entirely on February 18, 2021.[14]

List of former Atlanta street names

From its founding in 1847, Atlanta has had a penchant for frequent street renamings, even in the central business district, usually to honor the recently deceased. As early as 1903 (see section below), there were concerns about the confusion this caused, as more than 225 streets of Atlanta have had from two to eight names in the first decades of the city. Many recent[when?] Atlanta street renamings commemorate prominent African Americans in Atlanta's history. These renamings can be i...
