Central Hockey League (CHL) History
Central Hockey League (CHL)
The CHL was reborn in 1992 as a centrally owned league operated by Bill Levins with Ray and Monte Miron, funded by Chicago businessman and minor league sports entrepreneur Horn Chen. In the CHL’s first four seasons of play, the CHL had the unique distinction of centralized ownership. Now, all of the CHL’s current member clubs are operated independently. The CHL is currently administered by a wholly-owned subsidiary of Global Entertainment Corporation
In the inaugural 1992–93 season the league had six teams, including the Oklahoma City Blazers, the Tulsa Oilers, the Wichita Thunder, the Memphis RiverKings, the Dallas Freeze and the Fort Worth Fire. In 1996-97 the Huntsville Channel Cats, along with the planned 1996–97 Southern Hockey League expansion teams Columbus Cottonmouths, Macon Whoopee, and Nashville Nighthawks, joined the Central Hockey League following the SHL's demise.
After several experiments in expansion and a long battle for players and markets with the Western Professional Hockey League (WPHL), the CHL merged with the WPHL in 2001, under the CHL banner.
When Levins died, the championship trophy awarded to the winner of the CHL playoffs was renamed the Levins Cup. After running the league for eight years, Ray Miron retired in 2000 and sold the league. The Levins Cup was renamed the Ray Miron President's Cup.
In June 2010 it was announced that the IHL will play under the CHL banner..
