Shachihoko Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 There is a lot of current/former IHL franchises needed to be added in the database. I thought I would like to let Chris know he need to get around doing an update on it, when he get the chance. I thought it might have been forgotten..?Good old Orlando Solar Bears... I love this logo and their jersey were awesome. They were my very first team and the team that got me into Hockey.. Bring back memories.. Wish the Solar Bears were alive and made it with the AHL.

walby2 Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 There were some good solid IHL logos (remember the Quebec Rafales and the Minnesota Moose?), although many of them look pretty dated by now.Funny how in the 1990s, designers just couldn't seem to resist putting a hockey stick in the logo (or failing that, an ice skate). You'd think it was a league rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Hockey sticks have been an element of hockey design since at least the '60s, and sometimes to good effect (Pittsburgh Penguins, Winnipeg Jets, that stupid Canucks logo that personally I think sucks but the rest of the world loves it so into the parenthetical it goes). ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give me anything but the stick in rink logo please.It's not just hockey that does it. Look how often a baseball or bat appears in a team's logo, or a basketball, or a soccer ball, or a football...It's an identifier, so people who don't know the team can tell what sport they play.

deked73 Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 the IHL is also still running. http://www.ihl-hockey.com/ None of the logos really impress me but I remember attending Detroit Vipers games at the Palace. Man those were the best.That's not the IHL. That's the UHL doing business as the IHL.When the "real" IHL was around that's where NHL teams sent veteran players who were still good enough to play but weren't good enough to crack the NHL lineup or wouldn't be allowed to be in the AHL due to the veteran rule it has. The "new" IHL is mainly players that are below ECHL or even CHL league talents, not to say that there are not good players in that league it is primarly a lot of college and junior players that are just starting out, yet were not as good as guys drafted by NHL teams to play in the ECHL or the AHL and with a very few former NHL, AHL experienced players there too. When the Wolves were in the final year of the "I" we had former NHL vets like Niklas Andersson, Glen Featherstone, Brian Noonan, Wendell Young, Chris Li Puma, Dallas Eakins, years past we had Glenn Healy, Pat Jablonski, Andrei Trefilov, Kris King the league then was a veteran minor league with a few rookies in it like Rick Di Pietro for the Wolves when they had a partial affilaition with the Islanders. Lowell (AHL) got the young players and the Wolves got the vet players from the Isle's. This is the reason that, IMO the "real" IHL died. Some bonehead in the league office thought it could compete with the NHL for fans attention when the NHL locked out in the 90's and put teams in places they had no reason for being, like San Fran, LA, and Quebec. I miss seeing the Solar Bears and Vipers now, but maybe one day they will make a proud return as the AHL grows and moves. I just hope the AHL doesn't spread themselves to much and make things hard on the team owners for travel and cause teams to fold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
