Based in Springfield, Massachussets, the Indians were founding members of the American Hockey League and existed in the league for 60 years, from 1924 until 1994, with some brief interruptions over the years. This logo was used from 1936 until 1967, when they became affiliated with the expansion Los Angeles Kings NHL franchise and became the Springfield Kings. The franchise won 7 Calder Cup championships, and 12 former members of the team are in the Hockey Hall of Fame, including Punch Imlach, Eddie Shore, Gump Worsley, Billy Smith and Brian Kilrea.
