Columbus Hawks
November 5, 2015
This fly-by-night professional roller hockey outfit played for two months in downtown Columbus, Ohio during the summer of 1998. The Hawks were one of several minor sports franchises that tried to make a go of it at Battelle Hall in the Columbus Convention Center during the mid-1990’s, along with the Columbus Invaders indoor soccer team and the Columbus Quest women’s basketball team. Only the Quest attracted even a modest core of regular fans while the two men’s teams played to virtually empty stands. None of these clubs made it through more than two seasons.
