Each team plays a different number of total opponents than the others. The AHL also uses what they refer to as “balanced” scheduling (although their definition is different from the balanced/unbalanced schedules they talk about in MLB). For the AHL, it means teams play each other the same number of times at home and on the road. So I’m not sure about playing 9 games against opponents. I’d certainly be in favor of playing the same number of games against every team in your division, though.

And here’s the Barons division: Chicago, Houston, Milwaukee, Oklahoma City, Peoria, Rockford, San Antonio, Texas

Arent’ Chicago and Peoria in the same divison? If the season isn’t long enough for us to pay 10 games against each divisional opponent, wouldn’t it be more fair to play 9 games against 4 of these teams rather than 8 games against two of them?
