HISTORY OF DENVER HOCKEY

The first professional hockey team arrived in Denver over 50years ago. Since then, eight different hockey teams havecalled the Mile High City home.

The Denver Falcons were the pioneers of professional hock-ey in Denver. The team was established in June of 1950 andbelonged to the United States Hockey League. OwnersCharles Boettcher III, Will Nicholson, and Eddie Nicholsonhired former New York Ranger Bill Cook to coach the team.The Falcons played at the Denver University Arena during the1950-51 season. The USHL folded in the summer of 1951.

It was eight years before the city got its second hockey team- the Denver Mavericks of the International Hockey League.The team was established in Juneof 1959 by owner Eugene Cliff.The Mavericks’ home ice was theDenver Coliseum. The team wasbarely in town long enough to callit home, however, folding in mid-season. A lack of financial supportled to the sale of the team inDecember of 1959. The Maverickswere relocated to Minnesota toplay as the Minneapolis Millers.

A Western Hockey League teamwas the next to “invade” Colorado.The Denver Invaders were estab-lished in June of 1963 and wereprimarily owned by the TorontoMaple Leafs. Following in thefootsteps of their predecessors, the Invaders lasted only aseason at the Denver Coliseum. The Maple Leafs moved theteam prior to the 1964 season after being offered a betterdeal at an arena in British Columbia.

Denver hockey fans finally got something to cheer aboutwhen the Denver Spurs remained in town for a second sea-son. The Spurs were established in January of 1968 byowner Timothy Collins. The hockey club was sold to IvanMullenix in 1972. Originally a Western Hockey League team,the Spurs became a part of the Central Hockey League in1974 before bolting to the World Hockey Association in1975. Mullenix thought he would be awarded an NationalHockey League franchise for the 1976-77 season, the yearMcNichols Sports Arena would be ready. To the disappoint-ment of Mullenix and Denver fans, the NHL did not come. OnJanuary 2, 1976, the Spurs departed Denver on a road tripand never returned! The Spurs left 1,600 season ticket hold-ers behind, and they were never reimbursed.

Hockey fans in the Rocky Mountain Region would see theirpatience rewarded in August of 1976 when the NHLannounced that the Kansas City Scouts were moving toDenver to play as the Colorado Rockies. The Rockies wereoriginally owned by Jack Vickers but sold to ArthurImperatore in 1978. Imperatore desired to move the fran-chise to the New Jersey Meadowlands, but the NHL wouldnot approve the move until the new Meadowlands Arenawas completed. Peter Gilbert purchased the team in 1980and requested formal approval to move the team to New

Jersey. On June 3, 1982, the Rockies were sold to JohnMcMullen and subsequently moved to The Garden State,taking up residence at the Brendan Byrne Arena. “RockyHockey” was no more as the team promptly changed itsmoniker to “Devils.”

The ice at McNichols Sports Arena was not empty long, asthe Colorado Flames of the Central Hockey League estab-lished itself in July of 1982. The team was coached by PierrePage, who would later become Head Coach in Minnesota,Quebec, Calgary, and Anaheim. Despite the efforts of ownerDoug Spedding to make the Flames a success, the teamfolded at the conclusion of the 1982-83 season.

The International Hockey League madeits return to Denver in October of 1986.The Colorado/Denver Rangers wereowned by Dennis Champine and MikeIlitch, Jr. and played at the DenverColiseum. When Ilitch pulled out of theownership group, the financial burdenbecame too much for Champine. Theteam was sold to Richard Gerry andSidney Shlenker in September of 1988.To the disappointment of hockey fans,the two new owners did not haveenough time to turn things around andwere forced to declare bankruptcy inJune, 1989.

Hockey came out of hibernation in 1993when the Denver Grizzlies were estab-

lished. The International Hockey League franchise wasowned by David Elmore and Donna Tuttle, owners of theColorado Rockies AAA Affiliate Colorado Springs Sky Sox.The 1994-95 Grizzlies captured the IHL Championship in theirfirst, and last, season in Denver, averaging nearly 12,000fans per game. In May of 1995, COMSAT EntertainmentGroup announced an agreement in principle to purchase theQuebec Nordiques of the NHL. The Turner Cup ChampionGrizzlies moved to Salt Lake City, Utah.

On July 1, 1995, COMSAT Entertainment Group officiallyacquired the Quebec Nordiques. Within 37 days of announc-ing the National Hockey League’s return to Denver, 12,000season tickets were sold in less than two months. OnAugust 10, 1995, the team was introduced to the world asthe Colorado Avalanche.

On June 10, 1996, the Avalanche brought the city of Denverits first major professional championship by defeating theFlorida Panthers in four straight games to capture theStanley Cup. Since that time, hockey fans in Colorado havecontinued to enjoy the success of the Avalanche by watchingthe club claim a total of eight division titles and two StanleyCup championships. The Avalanche closed the McNicholsSports Arena chapter in its history and opened a new era ofhockey excitement on October 13, 1999 when the PepsiCenter opened its doors to hockey fans in Denver. The state-of-the-art facility treated its fans to hockey excitement fromday one and continues to do so seven years later.
