History
The Cincinnati Mighty Ducks were granted a voluntary suspension for the 2005–06 season due to the lack of an
NHL affiliate after previous affiliates
Detroit Red Wings and the
Mighty Ducks of Anaheim signed new agreements with the
Grand Rapids Griffins and the
Portland Pirates, respectively. In October 2005 the team was renamed the Cincinnati RailRaiders. They were seeking an affiliation agreement for a return in 2006–07, but failed to reach a goal of 2,000 season tickets sold to become re-active.
On
October 3,
2006, it was reported that a
Windsor,
Ontario, based company had been granted conditional approval to purchase and relocate the team , however that deal fell through . On
March 19,
2007, however, the AHL announced that the team had been purchased, and moved to
Rockford,
Illinois, to become the
Rockford IceHogs (which was the name of a
United Hockey League franchise).
The market was previously served by:
- Cincinnati Mohawks (1949–52 AHL, 1952–58 IHL)
- Cincinnati Wings (1963-64 CHL)
- Cincinnati Swords (1971–74 AHL)
- Cincinnati Stingers (1975–79 WHA, 1979-80 CHL)
- Cincinnati Tigers (1981-82 CHL)
- Cincinnati Cyclones (1990–92 ECHL, 1992–2001 IHL, 2001–04 ECHL)
The team was replaced in this market by:
- Cincinnati Cyclones of the ECHL (2006- )
