	Hartford Whalers (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		The Hartford Whalers were an NHL hockey team based in the Hartford Coliseum in Hartford, CT until 1997.
		The Whalers were bought by Howard Baldwin (a man of great dreams) with the intent of having them play at the Hartford Civic center which was under construction in 1974.
		Well attendance in Hartford plummeted with playoff attendance reaching only 6,000 for one game (personally I think that has something to do with the Whalers being the 2nd worst team in the league that year and only making the playoffs because the Nordiques were the worst).

	Hartford Whalers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Whalers franchise was born in November 1971 when the World Hockey Association awarded a franchise to New England businessmen Howard Baldwin, John Coburn, Godfrey Wood, and William Barnes, to begin play in Boston.
		With the exception of a period in the late 1970s when the Whalers played at the Springfield Civic Center while the Hartford Civic Center was being renovated (due to the collapse of a portion of its roof after a blizzard), the franchise was located in Hartford until it relocated to North Carolina in 1997.
		The Hartford Whalers never won a Stanley Cup, but did qualify for the playoffs in seven consecutive seasons from 1986-92 (they won the Cup in their new incarnation as the Carolina Hurricanes in June 2006).
