B.C. Icemen

In 1997, the owners of the American Hockey League (AHL)'s Binghamton Rangers moved their franchise to Hartford, Connecticut, as the Hartford Wolf Pack. The team was replaced by the B.C. ("Broome County") Icemen of the lower-level United Hockey League (UHL). The B.C. Icemen logo was created by Endicott native, nationally syndicated cartoonist Johnny Hart, creator of the comic strip B.C.; the logo featured a stylized caveman, similar to those depicted in his comic strip, playing ice hockey. In 2001, the original local owners, Dave Pace, Mark Palombo, and Patrick Snyder, sold the franchise and the new owner, David Wright then initiated a move to bring back the AHL. Wright was forced to declare bankruptcy, but a new ownership group followed his lead and the Binghamton Senators, farm club of the Ottawa Senators of the National Hockey League (NHL), arrived. Former B.C. Icemen include Keith Aucoin, Pete Vandermeer, Chris Allen, Dieter Kochan Brad Jones, and Boyd Kane.
