The Phoenix Eclipse was an American Basketball Association (ABA) team based in Phoenix, Arizona. The team began play in the fall of 2001 and played in the Arizona Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Phoenix. However, it has since folded and is defunct.
The team nickname was a play on the name of the NBA's Phoenix Suns, which played at the Coliseum for decades before moving to the America West Arena (now U.S. Airways Center) in 1991.

Famous quotes containing the words phoenix and/or eclipse:
“Devouring Time, blunt thou the lion’s paws,
And make the earth devour her own sweet brood;
Pluck the keen teeth from the fierce tiger’s jaws,
And burn the long-liv’d phoenix in her blood;
Make glad and sorry seasons as thou fleet’st,
And do what’er thou wilt, swift-footed Time,
To the wide world and all her fading sweets;”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“He who does something at the head of one Regiment, will eclipse him who does nothing at the head of a hundred.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
