Actually the ECHL has been adamant about not letting EA profit from player names and likeness.

The last time I read something about it, it had to do with American Players in college not being professionals and thus not allowed to sign away their rights.

@IrishOwl if the ECHL does not want EA to have the rights to their players, why does EA have the right to their players? I think you've been confused with NCAA.

The ECHL has been in NHL games for a while, yet the league is always neglected from Franchise Mode, which is a shame because of the decent prospects playing in the league, and it being a growth opportunity for future prospects.
