Winston-Salem IceHawks
November 17, 2019
The IceHawks were part of a procession of short-lived minor league hockey clubs that cycled through Winston-Salem, North Carolina during the 1990’s and early 2000’s. The IceHawks followed the Thunderbirds (1989-1992) and Mammoths (1995-1996) and preceded the T-Birds (2003-2004), Polar Twins (2004-2005) and Cyclones (2007-2009). Winston-Salem was an odd fit for the United Hockey League in 1997. The UHL’s other nine franchises were clustered in the upper Midwest, Ontario and upstate New York.
