The WSHL concluded its annual league meetings in Las Vegas, Nevada with a few changes for the upcoming season.
The biggest news coming out of the league meetings is the official expansion of the WSHL to 30 teams.
The Butte Cobras (Montana), Whitefish Wolverines (Montana), Casper Coyotes (Wyoming), Colorado Evolution, Oklahoma City Jr. Blazers, Texas Attack, and Las Vegas Storm (Nevada) have all joined the WSHL for the 2014-2015 season.
In addition to the expansion there are a few changes to team names and location for the upcoming season. The Boulder Bison will continue to play their WSHL games out of Boulder Valley, but under a new banner as the team has officially changed its name to the Colorado Rough Riders.
The New Mexico Renegades will also be making a name change for the 2014-2015 season. However, this also comes with a move to their new home in Springfield, Missouri. The team will play under the banner of the Springfield Express
The new influx of teams has brought about changes to both the divisional structure of the league as well as the playoff format, both of which will be discussed in parts two and three of the League Meeting Recap.
