{"product_id":"columbus-owls-crewneck-sweatshirt","title":"Columbus Owls Crewneck Sweatshirt","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Columbus Owls™ debuted in the IHL in 1973-74, changing their name from the Columbus Golden Seals when their professional affiliation shifted from the Golden Seals to the Blues and their ownership shifted as well. The Owls were one of the fiercest teams in the IHL during their debut season, topping the league in penalty minutes. They made the playoffs in three of their four years in the IHL, but had to play those games on the road or at Troy, Ohio, since the Fairgrounds — their home arena — was scheduled for other events.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Owls relocated to Dayton's Hara Venue for the 1977-78 season because attendance in Columbus was low and management desired an arena that could host the team in the playoffs. Dayton was occupied by the Dayton Owls after the Dayton Gems dissolved during the summer. But, like the Gems, the Owls struggled with attendance in the 70s and were forced to relocate to Grand Rapids, Michigan, where they became the Grand Rapids Owls.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDespite all of this, the Grand Rapids Owls™ made it to the IHL championships in 1978-79. They were defeated in seven games by the Kalamazoo Wings. The Owls went out of business in 1980 after a disappointing performance the following season. Years later, the Owls would be re-born as a junior team.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis would make a unique gift for the hockey fan in your life or a neat find for yourself of a vintage hockey team from Ohio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFree standard shipping on all orders shipped to the USA.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nQuestions about us or our products?
