Atlantic Coast Hockey League

An Ice Hockey Wiki article.

The Atlantic Coast Hockey League was a minor league hockey organization that operated between 1981 and 1987. Beginning in 1988 the league merged with the All-American Hockey League to create the East Coast Hockey League (today the ECHL). The Wheeling Nailers of the current ECHL is derived from this league, as are the Victoria Salmon Kings. Jim Riggs (Commissioner) was the commissioner.
