Franchise moves during the Offseason:

The AVCO World Trophy was permanently awarded to the Winnipeg Jets after the League merger of the WHA with the National Hockey League. The Trophy was donated to the Hockey Hall of Fame after the Winnipeg Jets moved to Phoenix, Arizona, in 1998.
The Winnipeg Jets, New England Whalers (as Hartford Whalers), Quebec Nordiques and Edmonton Oilers all joined the NHL after the merger.
The Winnipeg Jets are currently in Phoenix, and have been renamed the Coyotes.
The Hartford Whalers are now in Raleigh, North Carolina, and have been renamed the Carolina Hurricanes.
The Quebec Nordiques are currently in Denver, Colorado, and known as the Colorado Avalanche.

About

The World Hockey Association of 1972-1979 was a Major League rival to the National Hockey League. Three of the Leagues’ Champions – Winnipeg Jets 1975-76, 1977-78, 1978-79; New England Whalers 1972-73; and Quebec Nordiques 1976-1977 – joined the National Hockey League after the merger between the two Leagues in 1979. All three teams have since moved. The only other team to have won the AVCO World Trophy – the Houston Aeros – folded after the 1977-78 season.

The only other team to join the NHL after the merger – the Edmonton Oilers – is the only one still in its original hometown, and although the only one of the four to not have won the AVCO World Trophy, is the only one to have won the NHL’s Stanley Cup.

About

The North American Football League was a proposed Spring American Football League that was to begin play in 2016, with 8 teams, all located in the Eastern Half of the USA.

The Leagues owners, however, were arrested and charged with Grand Theft for taking $150,000 from an investor, without ever having the intention to start the League, according to prosecutors. The League never started in Spring 2016, and there was a no-show at its own try-outs.

Christopher White (46) and his wife, Tracy (47), from Murfreesboro, Tennessee, were charged by Bay County, Fla. deputees, with assistance from the Rutherford County Sheriff’s office, of theft of $100,000 from the victim, who had said she had begun a relationship with Christopher White in 2010, and he had convinced her to invest in the League and an associated production company.

About

The X-League is the Professional American Football League Section of the Japan American Football Association. The X-League itself is divided into three Divisions (X1, X2, X3) based on ability, with the X1 League split into a Super 9 and Battle 9 (Top and Bottom) with playoffs to follow. The teams are known as “Social Teams” as opposed to the College Teams, and are made up of Big Businesses.

The winners of the X Bowl meet the College Champions in the Rice Bowl, the Ultimate Game in Japanese American Football.

About

The Spring Football League of 2000 was founded by Ex-NFL players Eric Dickerson (Los Angeles Rams), Bo Jackson (Los Angeles Raiders) Tony Dorsett (Dallas Cowboys) among others. It set a 4-team 4-game schedule for its first season in 2000, to test the waters for a full League and Schedule for 2001.

The first season, dubbed “Festival 2000” only lasted 2 of the 4 game weeks, and the planned Championship Game was scrapped, with the Houston Marshals and San Antonio Matdors, both unbeaten on 2-0 records, declared Co-Champions. The demise of the League was due to the founding of the XFL by the WWF – World Wide Wrestling (now WWE) owners, and the low attendances, more like Junior High School Games than a AAA Pro League.
