Any minor league hockey fans? If so, let's hear your favorite team!

Mine, the Danbury Trashers of the United Hockey League. :D

Well, it was the Raleigh IceCaps.

Then they moved. Only went to a handful of games at good old Dorton Arena, but they sure were fun.

Fun Colgate-related note: The IceCaps played one game I went to with a player named Brad Dexter '96. Dexter is now an assistant at Colgate. Small world, it seems.

Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Penguins!! Gotta support the home town boys. They started out 10-0 i believe this year, not sure how they're doing now. They've been to the Calder Cup finals a couple times since their inception in 99/00.

I followed the Phoenix Roadrunners when they were in the IHL and played at the Veterans Memorial Coliseum here in Phoenix. However, they left when we got the Coyotes. There is now a "new" Phoenix Roadrunners of the ECHL but they play at the America West Arena which is a nicer arena but is not really built for hockey. I may attend a few games anyway. It's much closer for me than going all the way to Glendale to see the 'yotes.

Houston Aeros, AHL

Went to Game 7 of 1999 Turner Cup against Orlando Solar Bears when they were in IHL...SWEET!

I did for a few years (1993-98 I think), well at least in Holly Springs. Saw a handful of IceCaps games, then one Hurricanes' game while they were in Greensboro before being moved back North.
