Logo of a hockey team that played in the defunct World Hockey Association, the New York Raiders. The club existed from 1972 until 1974, but only played one season as the Raiders. After experiencing financial problems they were sold and the new owners rebranded them as the Golden Blades. That only lasted through a partial season, as the club was moved again, this time to New Jersey where they became the Jersey Knights, playing in an arena with a sloped ice surface that forced opponents to skate uphill 2 of the 3 periods. Players on the Raider roster included Wayne Rivers, Norm Ferguson, Ron Ward and Bobby Sheehan.
