Crunch Bid Farewell to AHL Western Conference, Announcer

The Syracuse Crunch have been moved to the East Division in the Eastern Conference as part of the American Hockey League's realignment for the 2009-10 season. The new arrangement puts nearly all of the Empire State's franchises in the same division. Rochester will remain in the North Division of the Western Conference, their home for the past six seasons.

The Crunch also announced today that play-by-play announcer Bob McElligott has been hired by NHL parent club Columbus. He will serve as host of the pre and post-game shows for the Blue Jacketgs in addition to his in-game duties. McElligott called Crunch games for the past 10 seasons on both television and radio.

H/T Gladdy!
