1993-94 ECHL Card Set for Hockey Blast Information Booklet Introduction 1993-94 was the sixth season of the East Coast Hockey League. Four expansion franchises (Charlotte, South Carolina, Huntington, and Roanoke) joined the league, increasing the number of teams to 19. The new franchise in Roanoke was made possible due to the relocation of the former Roanoke Valley Rampage to Huntsville, Alabama. Award winners that season were as follows: MVP: Joe Flanagan (Birmingham) – 54 G, 72 A, 126 Pts in 62 games Leading Scorer: Phil Berger (Greensboro) – 56 G, 83 A, 139 Pts in 68 games Rookie of the Year: Dan Gravelle (Greensboro) – 38 G, 66 A, 104 Pts in 58 games Defenseman of the Year: Tom Nemeth (Dayton) – 16 G, 82 A, 98 Pts in 66 games Goalie of the Year: Cory Cadden (Knoxville) – 26-8-4, 3.09 GAA, .898 SV% in 40 games Hockey history was made on the ice that season as Manon Rheaume and Erin Whitten, the first two female goaltenders in professional hockey, recorded their first wins. Whitten became the first to pick up a victory for Toledo on October 30, 1993, replacing an injured Alain Harvey at the beginning of the second period and stopping 15 of 19 shots in a 6-5 win over Dayton. Rheaume became the first female ECHL goalie to start and win a game on November 6, 1993 when she made 32 saves for Knoxville in a 9-6 victory over Johnstown. Knoxville captured its second Brabham Cup as regular season champions but were upset by Louisville in the first round of the playoffs, just as they were in 1990-91 when they finished first overall. The Toledo Storm captured their second consecutive Riley Cup Championship, defeating the Raleigh IceCaps 4 games to 1 in a series that featured three straight overtime games. The Cards All players with at least 8 games played are represented with a card. The cards are based on data retrieved from the ECHL Stats Archive (https://www.echl.com/echl-stats-archive) and the Internet Hockey Database (www.hockeydb.com). Players who suited up for multiple teams are grouped with the team they finished the season with. These players are listed later in this document. A few players have white triangles/squares. Treat these as you would momentum stars; they count only when the player’s team has momentum. Recommended Rule Modifications Lineups In 1993-94, ECHL teams dressed a maximum of 15 skaters and 2 goaltenders per game. Teams varied how they distributed ice time among their skaters. For simplicity, one suggestion is to play with 3 regular forward lines and 2 regular defense pairs, then have a forward and a defenseman available as substitutes when needed. If you use the stacks method, you could simply rotate the players in their stacks. Coincidental Minors In 1993-94, ECHL teams skated 4-on-4 when coincidental minor penalties occurred. If a 4-on-4 situation occurs, use the Normal Minutes chart. When a 7 is rolled, no lull occurs. Instead, go to 3 (PLAY ) and follow the instructions. Overtime/Shootout In the 1993-94 ECHL regular season, if regulation time ended in a tie, teams played 5-on-5 for five minutes or until someone scored, so just use the regular charts and rules. If still tied after the OT, the teams went to a shootout. The shootout lasted five rounds for each team, then additional rounds were added if there was still a tie. The visiting team always shot first. Other than those two changes, follow the regular shootout rules listed in the Hockey Blast rulebook. “Mark Michaud Rule” Goaltender Mark Michaud played in 65 of 68 games for Hampton Roads during 1993-94. To accurately represent this on his card, I gave him a start rating of 5.5. If you are using start ratings to determine starting goaltenders, roll both dice for Michaud and read them separately, black die first. 11-64: Michaud starts, 65-66: Michaud does not start. Multiple-Team Players For those wishing to play an accurate season replay, the following players dressed for multiple teams during the 1993-94 ECHL season, with the number of games they played for each team.
