St. Charles Chill Joining CHL in 2013
Tuesday · Oct 23 · 2012 | 1:16 AM PDTThe Central Hockey League is expanding next season. Well, re-expanding.
After the Laredo Bucks were sold this summer, the new ownership decided to the suspend the franchise for a season while it relocates to St. Charles, Missouri. The team will pick up in the 2013-14 season as the St. Charles Chill.
This, of course, means we'll be anticipating a new logo unveiling at some point within the next year. And the Chill are actually looking to fans for a little help in that regard. Last week, the team posted the following message on its Facebook page:
We have been working on getting the perfect logo for your new team. Anyone out there who would like to submit a logo can send it to nicole@stcharleschill.com.
Their colors are black, white, silver and "ice blue as an accent color," as they put it. So if you have a logo idea for the Chill, your email goes straight to the team's GM, Nicole Kupaks. By the way, if you do submit a design, feel free to send it my way too and I'll be happy to post it on the Icethetics Concepts page.

The CHL is a floundering league on its last breath. It really is sad. This at one time was probably the second best minor league hockey league in the United States, right behind the ECHL.
I think skill wise, the ECHL has a slight edge over the CHL. I would like to see the ECHL integrate with the CHL. If you look at a map of the ECHL, they are lacking teams in the central USA. It would make sense for the ECHL to take the majority of the stable CHL teams as now you can have a central division and have close to a 30 team circuit which would be ideal for NHL affiliation. And the CHL teams might be able to get a bigger draw if they were in a league that is viewed better.
