Commemorate a unique chapter in Virginia hockey history with our Salem Raiders vintage-style t-shirt. This collector's item celebrates the short-lived but passionate era of professional hockey in Salem from 1980-1983.
The Salem Raiders emerged as part of the Atlantic Coast Hockey League (ACHL), quickly gaining a devoted following among Virginia hockey enthusiasts seeking an alternative to NHL action. Playing their home games at the Salem Civic Center, the Raiders developed a loyal fan base before the league's financial challenges led to the team's folding in 1983, making memorabilia from this era increasingly rare and sought-after by sports collectors.
