The archive, year by year
How much of each year survives, and what it covers. Every year opens onto its own full listing.

Seven years
What each year holds
Coverage is uneven, and the unevenness is itself a record of the club: the years with an active communications operation left hundreds of releases, and the last two left almost nothing.
2017
4 releases, 17 FEB 17 to 10 MAR 17. Four releases, one of which announced that the club would stop playing.
2016
30 releases, 10 JAN 16 to 10 NOV 16. The final full season, thinly covered.
2015
172 releases, 02 JAN 15 to 26 DEC 15. Weekly releases, protected lists and the roster churn of a club missing the playoffs.
2014
265 releases, 02 JAN 14 to 31 DEC 14. The busiest year in the archive: the New Jersey affiliation ending, Buffalo beginning.
2013
177 releases, 04 JAN 13 to 31 DEC 13. A change of ownership, a new hockey staff, and the last strong season.
2012
157 releases, 03 JAN 12 to 28 DEC 12. The tail of the best season in club history and the summer that followed it.
2011
188 releases, 16 JAN 11 to 31 DEC 11. The Ottawa and Anaheim years. Mostly transactions and game reports.
2010
69 releases, 03 FEB 10 to 30 NOV 10. The Anaheim affiliation begins; transactions dominate.
2009
23 releases, 02 JAN 09 to 19 OCT 09. A playoff run, and the year-end honours that closed it.
2008
22 releases, 24 MAR 08 to 30 DEC 08. The first full ECHL year under the Ottawa affiliation.
2007
149 releases, 02 JAN 07 to 15 DEC 07. The last UHL season and the move to the ECHL: a new logo, a new coach and a new league.
2006
208 releases, 01 JAN 06 to 31 DEC 06. Thinly covered. Eight releases survive from the last full UHL season but one.
2005
177 releases, 01 JAN 05 to 31 DEC 05. A full UHL year of weekly bulletins, signings and the Jackal Bites column.
2004
87 releases, 26 JUL 04 to 31 DEC 04. The first year the releases survive from: the fourth UHL season, game reports and booster-club notices.
