Nick Mileti purchased the AHL Cleveland Barons, along with the Cleveland Arena in 1968, and he moved the team to Jacksonville in February of 1973 to become the Jacksonville Barons for a single season (due to the conflict with the WHA Cleveland Crusaders, which he also owned). Did Nick Mileti also own the team when they left Jacksonville and moved to Syracuse? If not, who did? THANKS!
