November 16, 2013
Los Angeles was a one-year port of call for the nomadic Gulls/Ice Dogs minor league franchise that drifted around Southern California for the better part of two decades. The former San Diego Gulls began play at the L.A. Memorial Sports Arena in September 1995. But just a few months later a new owner purchased the team and announced the Ice Dogs would leave L.A. in favor of Long Beach at the conclusion of the 1995-96 International Hockey League season.

Toledo Hornets
April 14, 2013
The gold-and-black clad Hornets were Toledo’s International Hockey League franchise of the early 1970’s. The Hornets replaced the IHL’s previous Toledo club, the Blades, the fall of 1970. Owner Paul Bright moved the Blades franchise to Lansing, Michigan in the spring of 1974. The IHL responded less than a week later by awarding a new expansion club to Toledo, the Goaldiggers, to begin play that October.
