Chicago Express Tickets

Chicago Express Hockey Tickets

Catch ECHL action with your Chicago Express tickets from TicketSmarter. Formerly known as the East Coast Hockey League, the ECHL consists of teams in the United States and Canada. In terms of the level of competition, it is a tier below the American Hockey League.

Like the AHL, the ECHL is recognized by the collective bargaining agreement between the NHL and the NHLPA. Players who sign an entry-level NHL contract and are designated for assignment will report to a minor league team in either the AHL or the ECHL. Hundreds of players who made it to the NHL got their start in the ECHL. The majority of teams in the NHL have official affiliations with mid-level teams. For example, the New Jersey Devils have an agreement with the Adirondack Thunder.

Teams are divided into either the Eastern or Western Conference. The eastern conference features north division teams such as the Maine Mariners. Chicago Express tickets can be found for matchups with south division opponents. The Western Conference is split between the central and mountain divisions. The Wichita Thunder host games at Intrust Bank Arena and are members of the mountain division.

ECHL teams will compete for the Kelly Cup at the conclusion of the regular season. The top four teams from each division will qualify for the Kelly Cup playoffs. Divisional winners will play for the conference title. Conference champions then meet in the Kelly Cup Final.

How much are Chicago Express tickets?

There will be a variety of factors that impact Chicago Express ticket prices. Teams that are playing at a high level generally have more expensive tickets. Playoff hockey tickets can also be significantly more expensive than regular season tickets.

Chicago Express Schedule

The Chicago Express regular season begins in mid-October and concludes in early April. Teams will play a 72-game regular-season schedule and the Chicago Express will frequently play against other teams in their division. Halfway through the regular season, qualifying players will compete in the ECHL All-Star Game. The all-stars from each conference will play in a four-team, 3-on-3 format for a chance to take home the All-Star Game honors.
