Logo of the New York Raiders hockey team, an entry in the old World Hockey Association. The Raiders were supposed to be a flagship franchise for the WHA in the New York market, but struggled to compete with the NHL’s Rangers and the team’s original owners defaulted midway through the first season and the league took control of the team. Under new ownership in their second season they were renamed the Golden Blades but defaulted again and the league then moved them to New Jersey where they became the Jersey Knights. That didn’t last long either, and this franchise, after the 1974 season, was moved to San Diego and became the Mariners.
