[edit] Hawaii Volcanoes
The Hawaii Volcanoes were an American basketball team based in Honolulu, Hawaii and Hilo, Hawaii that was a member of the Continental Basketball Association. The franchise played at several venues in Hawaii, including the Neal Blaisdell Center in Honolulu, the Conroy Bowl at Schofield Barracks, the gymnasium at Kaimuki High School, and two games at the Hilo Civic Auditorium.
The franchise did make the playoffs, but because of the tremendous travel costs between Honolulu and Anchorage (the Volcanoes' opponent), the Volcanoes agreed to play all the playoff games for that series in Anchorage, where they lost the best-of-five series to the Northern Knights.
