The league terminated the Newfoundland Growlers franchise on April 2, 2024, after the St. John's-based team's owners could not finalize the sale of the team by that date by league bylaws (but were able to sell the Trois-Rivières Lions before that, as they also owned the Lions). With this termination and following cancellation of their remaining games (3 vs Trois-Rivières and 3 vs Norfolk), the ECHL announced that the North Division standings would be decided by point % to make up for those missing games for Trois-Rivières and Norfolk Admirals
