2004–05 ECHL season

The 2004–05 ECHL season was the 17th season of the ECHL. This season marked uncharted territory for the ECHL as they established their first Canadian franchise, the Victoria Salmon Kings. The league also adopted a "Mason-Dixon" format, as the conferences were split on the Mason–Dixon line, with the National Conference teams being north of the famed line, and American Conference teams south of the line—in effect, all teams in states of the Confederacy, creating a "North vs South" format.
