VANCOUVER - Les Canucks de Vancouver vont déménager leur club-école de la Ligue américaine à Utica, dans l'État de New York.

Les Canucks ont fait savoir qu'ils avaient conclu une entente d'affiliation avec Utica et déplaceront les Rivermen de Peoria, qu'ils ont récemment achetés, à cet endroit. Les Comets d'Utica commenceront à jouer au Utica Memorial Auditorium la saison prochaine.

Les Canucks étaient affiliés avec les Wolves de Chicago, une équipe indépendante, avant d'acheter les Rivermen des Blues de St. Louis, le mois dernier. Ceux-ci ont ensuite annoncé que les Wolves agiraient comme club-école des Blues.

Les Rivermen seront gérés par Mohawk Valley Garden, un groupe mené par l'ancien gardien de la LNH Robert Esche ainsi que Frank DuRoss, qui a longtemps été propriétaire et dirigeant dans la LAH.

La ville de Utica a déjà accueilli du hockey de la Ligue américaine. Le club-école des Devils du New Jersey y ont joué de 1987 à 1993.

Elle a aussi été l'hôte de différentes équipes de la United Hockey League, de l'Atlantic Coast Hockey League et de la North Eastern Hockey League.
