Broome Dusters
The Broome Dusters, AKA the Binghamton Dusters, were a popular minor league hockey team during the mid-1970’s in Broome County, New York. The Dusters originally played in the rough and tumble North American Hockey League from 1973 through 1977. After that league collapsed, the Dusters joined the American Hockey League for three seasons from 1977 until 1980. Binghamton resident Johnny Hart, who penned the syndicated comic strips B.C. and The Wizard of Id, designed the Dusters’ logo of a caveman with a hockey stick.
