Logo of the Philadelphia Blazers hockey team, who played in the old World Hockey Association for one season, in 1972-73. They started out as the Miami Screaming Eagles but never played a game there, as a suitable arena in Miami wasn’t available. Their lone season in Philly was a disaster, starting with the cancellation of their opening home game, when the Zamboni malfunctioned and tore a chunk out of the playing surface. The Blazers’ ownership made a big splash by signing NHL players like Bernie Parent, Derek Sanderson and player/coach John McKenzie, but all of them wound up with injuries and the club had little success. They relocated to Vancouver for the 1973-74 season.
