Capture a unique moment in LA hockey history with this Los Angeles Ice Dogs t-shirt from their brief but memorable run in the International Hockey League. The Ice Dogs brought a fresh take on professional hockey to the Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena in 1995, offering an alternative to the NHL's Kings. Despite initial enthusiasm and a strong hockey market, the team relocated to Long Beach after just one season, becoming the Long Beach Ice Dogs, due to challenges securing consistent arena dates and competing for attention in the crowded LA sports landscape.
The distressed, weathered logo captures the spirit of this short-lived team and gives this shirt an authentic, vintage feel – as if it's been preserved since that single season at the Sports Arena. Printed on premium Gildan 5000 heavyweight cotton, this shirt offers the perfect blend of comfort and durability. The classic unisex fit and preshrunk fabric ensure it'll remain a comfortable favorite wash after wash.
Features:
- Premium 5.3 oz, 100% preshrunk cotton
- Available in sizes S-5XL
- Direct-to-garment printing for vibrant, long-lasting results
- Tear-away label for maximum comfort
- Clean, blank back design
- Multiple color options to choose from
Whether you're a hockey history buff who remembers the Ice Dogs' brief LA run, a collector of rare sports memorabilia, or simply appreciate unique pieces of Southern California sports history, this shirt is a perfect tribute to one of professional hockey's interesting "what if" stories.
