The 2013–14 ECHL season is the 26th season of the ECHL. The regular season schedule ran from October 18, 2013 to April 13, 2014,[1] with the Kelly Cup playoffs to follow. The league began the season with 22 teams scheduled to play 72 regular season games each, but one team folded during the season, which required the league to re-schedule games in order to provide the remaining teams with full schedules.[2]
