Ottawa Nationals Hoodie

Product Info 80% Cotton 20% Polyester Heavyweight Sweatshirt Classic Fit Ships in 4-7 business days Team: Ottawa NationalsYears Active: 1972-1973Homes: Ottawa Civic Centre (Ottawa, ON) Though originally slated to play in Toronto as one of the 12 charter franchises of the World Hockey Association (WHA), the Toros first hit the ice in 1972 as the Ottawa Nationals.  Unfavorable terms in a proposed lease for Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto forced the team to set up shop in Ottawa. A box office flop in there, the team wound up in Toronto for the playoffs. Dubbed the Ontario Nationals for those games, the team was sold to John Bassett Jr. over that summer and renamed the Toronto Toros before the start of the WHA's second season. At first they played in Varsity Arena, before moving to Maple Leaf Gardens in 1974. An oppressive lease eventually caused the team to relocate to Birmingham, Alabama where they were renamed the Bulls. Notable Players Wayne Carleton This product is a historical repr
