The A.C. Boardwalk Bullies is a first-year team in the professional ECHL (East Coast Hockey League) averaging close to 4000 in attendance per game. The "Bullies" were not expected to finish much above last place in their conference when the season started.... and now they stand a chance to win all the marbles.

While the NHL is the undebateable premier pro Hockey League ... and the AHL is the runner-up, the ECHL is ranked as the 3rd level in pro hockey.... with many former NHL players and promising new talent being showcased for NHL/AHL scouts.

Trump Plaza issued an LE chip commemorating the Atlantic City Boardwalk Bullies (if you will recall ... pit boss Joe Craps was pushing 200 of them on this bb). BTW: Whatever happened to "Joe Craps"?
