Year two saw an improvement, with a 28-37 record that would earn them a trip to the playoffs. Attendance was decent as well, as the team averaged around 4,000 fans per game each of the first two seasons. It would take until their fifth season to finish with a winning record, 34-29, which would earn them their second playoff appearance. Unfortunately both of those playoff trips would end in the first round.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Blizzard's best season was also unfortunately their last in West Virginia as attendance slowly dropped throughout their time in Huntington. In their seventh season, 1999-00, the team went 35-25 and would advance to the second round of the playoffs. After that, the Blizzard would go on hiatus and eventually move to Texas.\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 West Virginia.\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?
