The Orlando Solar Bears are a professional ice hockey team to be based in Orlando, Florida. They are scheduled to begin play in the ECHL for the 2012–13 season. They will play home games at the Amway Center.
History
The team will revive the name of the original Orlando Solar Bears, who played in the International Hockey League from 1995 to 2001.[1] The franchise will also retain the original colors of their IHL predecessor. They will be Orlando's third professional hockey team, after the original Solar Bears and Orlando Seals (2002–2004). Together with the Florida Everblades of Estero, they will be one of two ECHL franchises in Florida. The Solar Bears will utilize RDV Sportsplex Ice Den as their training facility and offices.
