Hockey in Syracuse retraces the history of the eight professional teams that have taken the ice in Syracuse in six different leagues since 1930. Each team has its own colorful story, beginning with the Syracuse Stars of the International Hockey League. The Twinklers have the distinction of capturing the first Calder Cup ever awarded. Other teams included the Warriors (1951 1954), the Braves (1962 1963), the Blazers (1967 1977), the Eagles (1974 1975), the Firebirds (1979 1980), and the Hornets (1980 1981). The present-day Crunch brought hockey back in 1994 and have provided Syracuse fans with thrills on the
ice ever since. Salt City teams have won four playoff
championships and have set several all-time professional hockey records that still stand today. Hockey Hall of Famers from these teams include Keith Bingo Allen, Gord Drillon, Phil Esposito, Syd Howe, and Dave Sweeney Schriner. Syracuse truly has a rich hockey heritage."
