Professional hockey has officially returned to New Mexico with the unveiling of the New Mexico Goatheads, the state’s new ECHL membership set to begin play in the 2026–27 season.

Maybe I’ll see them if they play the Cincinnati cyclones, why the East Coast Hockey League though?
I like the logo and the colors! I grew up watching the Wheeling Nailers so I’m a fan of the ECHL as a league. I kinda wish they had a hat in the red color, I’m in the mood for a new one but I have a few black ones already.

With as iconic an our state flag is, I am really surprised the Jersey is not yellow/gold and red.
That’s a really good point. I live in Colorado currently and my first thought was that those are close to the Avs colors. I didn’t poke around the website too much but maybe you know, are they an Avs affiliate?
Anchored by a bold color palette of desert red, sand, and Rio Grande blue, the Goatheads look is designed to stand out on the ice and across merchandise.
I am unsure what “Rio Grande blue” is, but it sure as shit is not a color I have ever seen in the Rio Grande unless a bepsi can is floating past.
I see nothing about the Avalanche mentioned.
