Sports season
The 1999–2000 ECHL season was the 12th season of the ECHL . Before the start of the season, the Miami Matadors and Columbus Chill suspended operations, the Chesapeake Icebreakers , who originally suspended operations, moved to Jackson, Mississippi . The league also welcomed expansion franchises in North Little Rock, Arkansas and Trenton, New Jersey , as well as welcoming back a franchise in the former market of Greensboro, North Carolina . The New Orleans Brass moved into the New New Orleans Arena . The league also created a new individual award , the Plus Performer Award, to be awarded to the player who leads the league in plus-minus rating at the end of the regular season.[ 1] The Florida Everblades finished first overall in the regular season, winning the Brabham Cup and the Peoria Rivermen won their first Kelly Cup , defeating the Louisiana IceGators four games to two.
