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 Stars hockey team was a minor league affiliate of the NHL’s Minnesota North Stars (1978-1981) and Calgary Flames (1981-1982) for four seasons. The team replaced the once-popular Oklahoma City Blazers on the local hockey scene after the Blazers went dark a year earlier. Both the Blazers and the Stars competed in the Central Hockey League. The Stars helped to launch the Hall of Fame career of unheralded teenager Dino Ciccarelli before he shot to NHL stardom with the North Stars.
