The Arkansas GlacierCats were a short-lived minor-league hockey team located in Little Rock, Arkansas.
The Arkansas GlacierCats were a Western Professional Hockey League (WPHL) franchise in Little Rock, Arkansas. The team was owned by Ed Novess and Dan Hart of Austin, Texas and they played in the WPHL during the 1998-99 and 1999-2000 seasons. Home games were played at the old Barton Coliseum.
The GlacierCats were popular in their first year but were forced to suspend operations permanently in April 2000 after the Arkansas RiverBlades of the East Coast Hockey League began playing at the newly opened ALLTEL Arena in North Little Rock, directly across the Arkansas River from downtown Little Rock.
Famous quotes containing the word arkansas:
“...I am who I am because I’m a black female.... When I was health director in Arkansas ... I could talk about teen-age pregnancy, about poverty, ignorance and enslavement and how the white power structure had imposed it—only because I was a black female. I mean, black people would have eaten up a white male who said what I did.”
—Joycelyn Elders (b. 1933)
