Madison Monsters

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Madison Monsters were a Hockey team based in Madison, Wisconsin that later moved to Knoxville, Tennesee and was named the Knoxville Speed. The team played in the UHL and CoHL. The City of Madison was granted the Franchise before the 1995-96 season. The other team to join that year was the Quad City Mallards. Not only were the Monsters the first CoHL hockey team to be established in Wisconsin, but they were the first team in the CoHL to be established outside of Michigan or Ontario. The Monsters played all of their games in the Dane County Memorial Colliseum (Now the Alliant Energy Center). The team moved to Knoxville before the 1999-2000 season.
