1972-73 AHL Season[edit]

According to hockeydb.com, it appears that the Barons split the 1972-73 between homes in Cleveland, Ohio and Jacksonville, Florida. Does anyone have information that could elaborate on this? Flibirigit 21:30, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Here is a post I found a forum. [1] Gil Hannebohn states "The old WHA decided to put a team in Cleveland called the Crusaders (I believe Gerry Cheevers played for them for a while). It split up the fan base and the Barons couldn't compete. So halfway through the '72 season, the owner decided to pack them up and move them to Jacksonville."

Assuming this is true, does anyone know a date of a move, or to which arena in Jacksonville? Flibirigit 22:04, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

As it happens, I do. The team moved February 9, 1973, and played in the Jacksonville Memorial Coliseum. Yer welcome. (grins) Ravenswing 01:08, 13 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Jacksonville folds or moves?[edit]

Is there any possibility that the Jacksonville Barons from 1973-74 were relocated, becoming the Syracuse Eagles of 1974-75? There were seven players who played for both teams. (Dick Sarrazin, Cal Swenson, Steve Warr, Al Rycroft, Billy Orr, John Hanna, Ron Morgan) John Hanna was also a player/coach for both teams. Or is this just a coincidence?

Not according to the AHL's record books. Of course, the NHL team affiliated with the Barons had to send their players somewhere the year following; Syracuse was as good a locale as any, I suppose. Ravenswing 19:10, 13 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

OK, just a coincidence then. Flibirigit 19:19, 13 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
