==Team and NHL affiliation changes==
The Iowa Stars are renamed and are now called the [[Iowa Chops]], and the [[Anaheim Ducks]] have replaced the [[Dallas Stars]] as the team's NHL affiliate.<ref name=iowa_chops>{{cite web |url=http://www.theahl.com/news/league/index.html?article_id=8825 |title=Iowa Chops to hit the ice this fall |date=July 9, 2008 |publisher=theahl.com |access-date=2008-07-22 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080719120159/http://www.theahl.com/news/league/index.html?article_id=8825 |archive-date=2008-07-19 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
 
The Dallas Stars have no AHL affiliate this year, with the [[Texas Stars]] (based in [[Austin, Texas|Austin]]) to become their affiliate for the [[2009–10 AHL season|2009–10 season]].
