The 2010–11 AHL season was the 75th season of the American Hockey League. An all-time high of thirty teams played 80 games each during the regular season schedule, which started on October 8, 2010, and ended on April 10, 2011. This season featured the addition of one new team, the relocation of two others, and the renaming of another.
The 2010–11 AHL schedule, announced on August 25, 2010, consisted of 1,200 games held between October 8, 2010, and April 10, 2011.[1] An outdoor game between Connecticut Whale and Providence Bruins was played at Rentschler Field on February 19, 2011. Providence won the game 5–4 in a shootout in front of 21,673 spectators.[2]
- The Albany River Rats moved to Charlotte, NC due to major financial losses. They became the Charlotte Checkers.
- The Lowell Devils relocated to Albany, NY due to changes in the lease with UMass Lowell making it "financially impossible" to stay. They retained the Devils nickname.
- The dormant Edmonton Road Runners were reactivated and moved to Oklahoma City, OK as the sixth incarnation of the Edmonton Oilers affiliate. The team played as the Oklahoma City Barons, thus making it the first time the franchise has set up operations in the United States.
