The AHL Peoria Rivermen are the relocated Worcester IceCats, and are only related to this ECHL franchise by name. My question is: Are the IHL and ECHL incarnations the same team? I would prefer to seperate them even farther, but I'm not familiar with that history. If somebody can clarify that with some references, I'll expanded this article accordingly. I plan on formulating a defunct team stub in the near future. I'll be starting with Binghamton, NY. Legally, there were four franchises (NAHL Dusters, the first AHL team that was renamed 'Dusters to Whalers to Rangers', UHL BC Icemen, and the current AHL Senators). I'll probably have an article for each renaming. ccwaters 17:05, 14 August 2005 (UTC)

I've come across a mention that the IHL Rivermen became the San Antonio Dragons. ccwaters 17:12, 14 August 2005 (UTC)
