Kenosha Flyers
Ice hockey team in Kenosha, Wisconsin / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Kenosha Flyers were an American semi-professional ice hockey team located in Kenosha, Wisconsin. The franchise was in operation for seven seasons in the Continental Hockey League but spent only four as the 'Kenosha Flyers'. The team won the league championship in its first season, defeating Peoria 4–2.[2] Unfortunately, due their home rink being unavailable, the Flyers were forced to move a few miles south to Zion, Illinois for the following season.[3] After a year as the Lake County Flyers, the team was back in Kenosha but they couldn't recapture the magic of their first season. Kenosha progressively sank down the standings and were sold and renamed after the 1979 season.
