The American Hockey League Board of Governors has approved the relocation of two New York-based AHL franchises.

The moves, which were the cause of much speculation over the past few weeks, were approved by the board Thursday afternoon.

The AHL franchise owned by the National Hockey League's Vancouver Canucks will relocate from Utica N.Y., to Abbotsford, B.C., to play at the Abbotsford Centre beginning with the 2021-22 AHL season.
