The Oklahoma City Blazers was the name chosen by two separate minor league hockey franchises in the Central Hockey League of the 1960’s and 1970’s. Because the two teams used the same identity and were separated by only a single year’s lay-off, we’ve elected to consolidate them into a single FWiL entry. The Blazers glory years came during their time as the top farm club of the NHL’s Boston Bruins from 1965 to 1971
The Oklahoma City Blazers were a beloved hockey team of the 1990’s and 2000’s in the “double-A” level Central Hockey League (CHL). The Blazers were one of six original members of the CHL when it opened for business in 1992. Both the Blazers and the CHL itself were nostalgic re-boots of an earlier era of pro hockey: the original Central Hockey League operated from 1963-1984 and included the original Oklahoma City Blazers club from 1965 to 1977.
