Capitals end affiliation with Stingrays, go to Reading

The Washington Capitals are saying that they will no longer be an affiliate of the South Carolina Stingrays. They are going to be affiliating with the ECHL's Reading Royals, which is only 50 miles or so away from Hershey, their AHL affiliate.

The Stingrays will have to find a new NHL affiliate. I'm sure several teams will want to affiliate with them since they are one of the most storied franchises in the ECHL. They have been an affiliate of the Caps for 8 seasons.

Here is more info from the Caps website:

It will be interesting to see what happens here.
