St. Louis Braves

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The St. Louis Braves were a minor league hockey club located in St. Louis, Missouri, and were the Central Hockey League's affiliate for the Chicago Black Hawks between 1963 and 1967. The team played its home games at the St. Louis Arena in the city's Central West End, off Highway 40 across from Forest Park. They were the last minor-league hockey club to call "The Gateway to the West" home, prior to the arrival of the NHL's version of the Blues, in the fall of 1967. The Braves would end up moving to Dallas, TX and become the Dallas Black Hawks, who played 15 seasons there until its demise in 1982.
