Celebrate a unique chapter in Arizona hockey history with our exclusive 1997-1998 T-shirt!
This premium collectible tee features a distinctive distressed, cracked, vintage finish that gives it authentic character and nostalgic appeal. Printed on a high-quality Gildan 5000 blank, this shirt delivers exceptional comfort and durability.
Originally embraced by passionate fans during the team's single season in the West Coast Hockey League, this shirt captures the spirit of an exciting but brief moment in Tucson sports. The 1997-1998 squad brought professional hockey excitement to the Tucson Convention Center, drawing curious crowds as the city's first attempt at establishing a minor league hockey franchise in the growing southwestern market.
Now a genuine collector's item commemorating a fascinating footnote in regional sports history. Despite generating initial enthusiasm and featuring several veteran minor league players on their roster, the franchise suspended operations after just one season due to financial difficulties and inadequate arena facilities, marking a short-lived but memorable chapter in Arizona's hockey development before the sport would later find more stable footing in the state.

- Classic unisex fit perfect for all fans
- Available in sizes S-5XL
