 When the UHL changed into the IHL, the league specifically wrote to me asking that the "new IHL" be shown separately from the UHL on hockeydb.com. They were attempting to brand themselves as the continuation of the old IHL, assuming their trophies and records. I think they created a legal entity separate from the UHL's legal entity, they even had a new commissioner (though many league employees remained the same) so I created the league as a new IHL, but I did not merge this new league with the old IHL's history since it was obviously just a ploy - I'm not sure they even bought any rights from anyone, they just used the name since it was no longer being used. I think its preferable to keep the new IHL as a free-standing entity away from the UHL   14:09, 6 June 2011
