The Story

As with most teams in the ABA, the Squires began life as another team, first as the Oakland Oaks and then the Washington Caps upon the franchise's move to DC. They became the Squires the following year (1970-71 season) after yet another move to Roanoke, VA after being pushed out of town by the Baltimore Bullets who wanted to move their NBA franchise to Washington and of course be the only game in town.

The 1972–73 season marked the beginning of the Virginia Squires downturn. Although blessed with a combination of Julius Erving ("Dr. J") and a young George Gervin, the duo only played together late in the season and during the summer of 1973, Dr. J was sold to the New York Nets for cash. Soon, the Squires' attendance fell through the floor and never recovered, folding just after the 1975-76 season.

The Kentucky Colonels were a member of the ABA for the league's total nine seasons. Despite having the league's all-time best winning percentage (winning the ABA championship in 1975) and one of the league's best fan bases, the Colonels were not one of the teams chosen to join the NBA and they were forced to fold in 1976.

The Story

The San Diego Conquistadors (the "Q's" to their loyal fans and sportswriters) were an ABA rarity: an ABA expansion team. Their players for their first season (1972-73) were unprotected players taken from other ABA teams in a special expansion draft. Given the talent available in this pool, one national basketball publication predicted that in their first season, the Conquistadors would be "the worst team in organized professional basketball history. They turned out to be not so bad, but nevertheless lasted only a few seasons, folding in 1975.

During the 1977 season, sitting in fifth place and with the Chiefs' future uncertain due to the closing of the mill in Charlestown, Player/Coach Reggie Dunlop vowed to do whatever it takes to start winning so someone would buy the team. Under his direction and with a trio of goons brought in from the Iron League, the Chiefs fought (literally) their way to the top, winning the Federal League Championship, and solidifying Dunlop's place among hockey player/coach legends.

The Story

The Minnesota Fighting Saints were one of the World Hockey Association's (WHA) original 12 teams, beginning play in 1973. The Saints never missed the playoffs nor had a losing record and the team always drew more fans than the WHA average. On a few occasions, they even drew more attendance than their NHL rivals, the North Stars.

The Saints were one of the first pro hockey teams to boast a mostly American roster, favoring Minnesota-born players specifically. The team also had several ties to the movie Slap Shot, as controversial forward Bill 'Goldie' Goldthorpe, who was the inspiration for Ogie Ogilthorpe in the movie and Jack Carlson, who along with his brothers were the inspiration for the Hanson Brothers, both played for the Saints. Also, current veteran NHL coach Bruce Boudreau, who made an appearance as a player in Slap Shot, made his professional debut with the Saints, playing 30 games in the 1975-76 season.

Despite their on-ice success, the Saints were unable to secure a lucrative TV deal and eventually succumbed to financial woes and folded mid-season in 1976.

The Story

In the late 1960's, none of North Carolina's metropolitan areas were large enough to support a professional sports franchise on its own, so the Cougars were branded as a "regional" team and despite being technically based out of Greensboro, played their "home" games in a variety of arenas across the state.

Although the Cougars were moderately successful overall during their run from 1969-74 and had one of the most loyal fan bases in the ABA, talks toward an ABA-NBA merger were in the final stages, and it had become apparent that a "regional" franchise would not be viable in the NBA. 

The Cougars were sold to a consortium of New York businessmen and moved to St. Louis for the '74-75 season and renamed the Spirit of St. Louis.

The Story

The famed Whalers franchise was created in November 1971 when the World Hockey Association awarded a franchise to an ownership group in Boston. Bolstered by a mostly American roster (very unusual for that era), the Whalers cruised to a WHA championship in their first season. 

Despite their success, the team was fourth priority at their home Boston Garden behind the NHL Bruins, NBA Celtics and even the AHL Braves. Fed up with the treatment, the owners decided to move the team to Hartford (who just opened up a brand new Civic Center) becoming the Hartford Whalers.

After a single season hiatus where Pittsburgh's ABA franchise moved to Minnesota, they returned back in 1969 as the Pittsburgh Pipers once again. A fresh start with a name change came for 1970-71 as the Pittsburgh Condors - but that didn't seem to improve things for the franchise as they had two terrible losing seasons, and to add insult to injury, became infamous for two promotional stunts (including giving away every unsold seat for free during one losing streak that sadly still only filled the arena 75%) that went terribly awry. The ABA cancelled the Pittsburgh franchise after the 1971-72 season.

The Miami Floridians began as the Minnesota Muskies, a charter ABA franchise. The Muskies finished with the league's second-best record, but wretched attendance figures led owner Larry Shields to sell a minority stake to a group of Florida businessmen and moved the team to Miami. In order to pay leftover debts in Minnesota, Shields sold Rookie of the Year Mel Daniels to the Indiana Pacers, a deal now reckoned as the most lopsided trade in ABA history.  After just 4 years in FLA, showing no progress in profitability, the team was disbanded in June 1972.

 Originally the Memphis Pros (arguable the least creative team in professional sports), In 1972, the team was purchased by Charles O. Finley, who also owned the Oakland A's and former NHL team Calfornia Golden Seals. In an attempt to drive some interest, they hosted a "Rename the Team" contest, with the TAMs winning the vote.  The nickname was an acronym for Tennessee – Arkansas – Mississippi, and the logo was a tam o'shanter-style hat in white, green and gold, which were also the new team colors, shared with the Athletics and Golden Seals.

The man. The myth. The legend. Ogie Ogilthorpe was once the most feared player in minor league hockey, and the Syracuse Bulldogs bring him out of retirement to battle against the Chiefs in what turns out to be an absolute blood bath.

"This young man has had a very trying rookie season, with the litigation, the notoriety, his subsequent deportation to Canada and that country's refusal to accept him, I guess that's more than most 21-year-olds can handle. Number six, Ogie Oglethorpe!"

The Chicago Cougars entered the league in 1972, playing at the International Amphitheater. The Cougars were the first North American major professional hockey team to feature player numbers on the front of their jersey in the upper right corner. The next professional team to try it was the NHL's Sabres in 2006.

Following the 1974-75 season, the Cougars franchise folded after the player-owners were unable to attract more financing.

Originally slated for Miami, the WHL's Screaming Eagles were moved to Philadelphia at the last minute prior to the 72-73 season and renamed the Blazers. Shortly after the relocation, they came to contract terms with Derek Sanderson, signing him for $2.6 million over 5 years, at the time the highest salary ever paid to a professional sports player. They also signed former Flyer Bernie Parent in net, who failed to get picked up by an NHL team.

Despite the stars, the Blazers only lasted 1 season, as injuries and off-ice struggles with Sanderson plagued the promising team and therefore ticket sales suffered. The Blazers were moved to Vancouver for the '73-74 season.

The Aeros graced the ice until 1978 when they folded due to a failed attempt to merge into the NHL (which made them the only WHA champion that did not eventually join the NHL).

The Story

The World Hockey Association operated from 1972-1979. Although the WHA was not the first league to attempt to challenge the NHL's supremacy, it was by far the most successful. The league tried to capitalize on the lack of hockey teams in a number of major American cities and mid-level Canadian cities, and also hoped to attract the best players by paying more than NHL owners would. The WHA successfully challenged the NHL's reserve clause, which bound players to their NHL teams even without a valid contract, allowing players in both leagues greater freedom of movement. Sixty-seven players jumped from the NHL to the WHA in the first year, led by star forward Bobby Hull, whose ten-year, $2.75 million contract was a record at the time. The WHA also took the initiative to sign European players.

The WHA had an acrimonious relationship with the NHL, resulting in numerous legal battles, as well as competition for control of players and markets. In spite of this, merger talks began almost immediately, as the WHA was constantly unstable, with franchises occasionally relocating or folding in the middle of the season. NHL owners voted down a 1977 plan to merge six WHA teams into the NHL before a 1979 merger was approved. As a result, the WHA ceased operations, and four teams joined the NHL for the 1979-80 season: the Edmonton Oilers, New England Whalers, Quebec Nordiques, and Winnipeg Jets.

After the 1976-77 season, owner Ray Kroc (of McDonald's fame), who also owned the Padres, sold the team to a group who planned to move it to Florida. However after three failed attempts to secure an arena, the Mariners folded just before training camp opened in the fall of 1977. Fans who put down deposits for season tickets never got their money back.

Capitalizing on the lack of hockey teams in a number of major American cities and mid-level Canadian cities, the WHA was the first major league to compete with the NHL. The New York Raiders were intended to be the WHA's flagship franchise, and the team was initially slated to play in the brand-new Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum on Long Island. However, Nassau County was holding out for an NHL franchise and when the NHL finally responded by hastily awarding a franchise to Long Island—the New York Islanders - the lease with the Coliseum was structured in such a way to effectively lock out non-NHL teams, forcing the Raiders to play at Madison Square Garden.

Unsurprisingly, the Raiders couldn't compete with the Rangers and due to poor attendance, the owners defaulted, and the league ended up taking control of the team midway through the season. Following the season, New York real estate mogul Ralph Brent bought the team and renamed it the New York Golden Blades.

To this day, the Hawaiians, who played in the short-lived World Football League for the 1974 and 1975 seasons, are the only professional American football team to establish its home base outside the contiguous 48 states. Despite less than stellar records in their two seasons, the Hawaiians were setup for success had the WFL not dissolved after 1975 and might have had the chance to merge with the NFL if not for their location.

The Story

When a group of Baltimore businessmen purchased the struggling Memphis Sounds franchise in the summer of '75, the new owners first named their team the "Baltimore Hustlers." A season ticket brochure with the new Hustlers logo went out to the public, but when the ABA league office got wind of the "Hustlers" nickname, it objected and "strongly encouraged" the Baltimore owners to choose another nickname. Soon after this directive, the "Baltimore Hustlers" quietly became the "Baltimore Claws" and the great Hustlers name and logo was soon forgotten. Until now.

The man. The myth. The legend. Ogie Ogilthorpe was once the most feared player in minor league hockey, and the Syracuse Bulldogs bring him out of retirement to battle against the Chiefs in what turns out to be an absolute blood bath.

"This young man has had a very trying rookie season, with the litigation, the notoriety, his subsequent deportation to Canada and that country's refusal to accept him, I guess that's more than most 21-year-olds can handle. Number six, Ogie Oglethorpe!"

The Story

The LA Aztecs: the New York Cosmos of the west coast. Or at least that’s what the owners hoped the club might become. There were star-studded connections through part-owner Elton John and the famous players like George Best and Johan Cruyff.

The team found immediate success, averaging almost twice as many spectators as the league average, played in the first nationally televised game in the U.S., and won the NASL championship in their debut season.

The Aztecs had mixed success between 1974 and 1981, when the team folded due to instability within its ownership group.

The Story

The San Diego Conquistadors (the "Q's" to their loyal fans and sportswriters) were an ABA rarity: an ABA expansion team. Their players for their first season (1972-73) were unprotected players taken from other ABA teams in a special expansion draft. Given the talent available in this pool, one national basketball publication predicted that in their first season, the Conquistadors would be "the worst team in organized professional basketball history. They turned out to be not so bad, but nevertheless lasted only a few seasons, folding in 1975.

The Story

After his Memphis Tams posted the worst record in all of pro basketball during the 1973-74 season, team owner Charlie Finley refused to pay any more bills. The ABA itself was keeping the operation afloat. After four years of futility, it seemed impossible that a Memphis ABA franchise could continue, but with an ABA/NBA merger imminent, ABA Commissioner Mike Storen decided to step in. Given his past success building successful franchises in Indiana and Kentucky, Storen felt that he could turn around the Memphis franchise and make it viable for the NBA. 

Storen found several new local investors for the team (including Isaac Hayes and Al Wilson of Stax Records and Kemmons Wilson of Holiday Inn) and gave the franchise a complete facelift, including the nickname which he changed to the "Sounds." 

Despite making the playoffs, it was looking to finally be the end of the line for the ABA in Memphis. The league office gave the city of Memphis a strict deadline of June 1, 1975 to sell 4,000 season tickets, find new investors, and secure a more favorable lease at the Mid-South Coliseum. Predictably, none of this happened. The league took over the franchise and, in August 1975, the Sounds were sold to several businessmen in Baltimore who initially called their team the "Baltimore Hustlers" but then, with force from the league, changed to the "Baltimore Claws."

The Story

Originally the Memphis Pros (arguable the least creative team in professional sports), In 1972, the team was purchased by Charles O. Finley, who also owned the Oakland A's and former NHL team Calfornia Golden Seals. In an attempt to drive some interest, they hosted a "Rename the Team" contest, with the TAMs winning the vote.  The nickname was an acronym for Tennessee – Arkansas – Mississippi, and the logo was a tam o'shanter-style hat in white, green and gold, which were also the new team colors, shared with the Athletics and Golden Seals.

The Story

The best player on the Chiefs (and probably in the entire Federal League), Ned Braden is misunderstood by his teammates, fans ("I hate you Braden!" shouted by a fan during pre-game intros is one of the classic opening lines of the movie) and his wife. It makes no sense why the Princeton-educated Braden is playing in this grunt minor league - and his refusal to fight and overall attitude lead him to be benched and cast aside by his teammates and the fans. 

However Braden's shining moment comes at the very end when his brilliant striptease performance simultaneously mocks the absurdity of the fighting that's taking place around him, and wins the hearts back of the fans and his wife when he finally accepts that he's just a character in a show.
