Relive an exciting chapter of Ohio hockey history with our Columbus Owls T-shirt, celebrating their 1973-77 run in the International Hockey League. The Owls brought professional hockey to the Ohio State Fairgrounds Coliseum, providing Columbus with its first taste of pro hockey during the sport's expansion era. Despite initial enthusiasm and featuring several future NHL players, the team faced mounting challenges including financial difficulties and competition from other winter sports. The franchise folded in 1977 after four seasons when rising operational costs and inconsistent attendance made continuation impossible, though they helped establish Columbus's appetite for professional hockey.
