Hamilton Canucks

[1] The team was the top minor league affiliate of the Vancouver Canucks for two seasons (1992–1994) in the AHL, and was initially owned by former NHL player Pat Hickey, Canadian Football League legend Bernie Faloney and Dieter Beer.

Just as the first season concluded, the three sold their interest to a group that called themselves "Double Hitch Enterprises"; both Faloney and Beer left and Hickey stayed on as the president.

[3] The AHL was angered by the ownership group pulling the plug after a single home game and thus had to run the franchise going forward or fold it.

But a hot Cornwall goalie, Garth Snow and sniper Rene Corbet made short work of the Canucks in four games.

[2] Two years later, the Edmonton Oilers moved their AHL affiliate into Copps Coliseum, as the Hamilton Bulldogs.
