TORONTO ROADRUNNERS


The 'Toronto Roadrunners' were an ice hockey team in the American Hockey League. They played in Toronto, Ontario, Canada at the Ricoh Coliseum. While initial owner Lyle Abrhams brought the franchise to Toronto with good intentions, poor attendance, a questionable business model, and a dispute with building officials resulted in the relocation of the franchise to Edmonton after only one season. Another factor was the desire of the parent club to have the team play in Edmonton to fill the void expected as an NHL lockout the following season seemed more and more likely.
