NOTES: * = '06-07 average attendance and games played include figures for the Toledo Storm, which ceased operations after last season when purchased by the minor league baseball Toledo Mud Hens. The team plans to begin play again during the '09-10 season in a new arena in Toledo. Attendance also included for the Long Beach Ice Dogs, whose membership in the ECHL was terminated following last season. ^ = Played all 38 games last season in the UHL (now IHL). ** = Team was forced to suspend operations after '04-05 season when Hurricane Katrina damaged their arena. ^^ = Played last season as the Trenton Titans, but changed their name following the season to come more in line with parent club NHL Devils.
