History:: In 1991 the Raleigh Icecaps joined the league to become the third North Carolina entry for the ECHL. Hockey proved to be a good draw in the Triangle, and this fan support allowed the team to steadily improve itself. Then the announcement came that the NHL's Hartford Whalers would be moving to the Tar Heel state and ultimately to Raleigh. Support dried up and the Icecaps were left little choice but to find a new home. They will play in Augusta, GA in the 1998-99 season.
