The '''2008–09 AHL season''' was the [[List of AHL seasons|73rd]] [[season (sports)|season]] of the [[American Hockey League]]. 29 teams each played 80 games in the regular season, which ran from October 8 until April 12.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.theahl.com/news/league/index.html?article_id=7878 |title=The making of the AHL schedule |date=July 17, 2008 |publisher=theahl.com |access-date=2008-07-22 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080804112408/http://www.theahl.com/news/league/index.html?article_id=7878 |archive-date=2008-08-04 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
==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]].
On April 28, 2009, it was announced that two teams would be relocated for the 2009–10 season: the [[Quad City Flames]] would move to [[Abbotsford, British Columbia|Abbotsford, BC]], and the [[Philadelphia Phantoms]] would relocate to [[Glens Falls, New York|Glens Falls, NY]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.theahl.com/headlines/index.html?article_id=9993 |title=Austin, Abbotsford, Glens Falls joining AHL in 2009–10 |date=April 28, 2009 |publisher=theahl.com |access-date=2009-04-28| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20090502115503/http://www.theahl.com/headlines/index.html?article_id=9993| archive-date= 2 May 2009 | url-status= dead}}</ref>
