Afterwards, Glickman's achievements included preseason games for National Football League teams at Portland’s Multnomah Stadium, games by the Harlem Globetrotters and post-season NBA All-Star games at the newly opened Memorial Coliseum. In 1960, he was one of the founders of the Portland Buckaroos of the Western Hockey League, a now-defunct minor hockey league (and one of several leagues to bear that name). The Buckaroos were one of the most successful franchises in minor league hockey history, winning three WHL championships, and playing in three others, during their 13 years in the Western Hockey League. (The WHL would fold in 1974, largely as a result of losing major market teams in Los Angeles and Vancouver to the National Hockey League (NHL) and others, including Denver and Phoenix, to the World Hockey Association (which later merged with the NHL). The Buckaroos ultimately folded in 1975, after moving to a different league. Portland Trail Blazers Glickman was interested in creating a basketball team in Portland as soon as a bond for the Memorial Coliseum was passed in 1954. While the NBA refused his offer, in 1959 Glickman negotiated with Abe Saperstein to have a team on his American Basketball League, but the league folded before he could do so. In 1970, Glickman, working without any investor support, won an expansion franchise with the National Basketball Association, subject to coming up with $3.8 million in a matter of days. Glickman soon rounded up 3 wealthy real estate developers led by Herman Sarkowsky of Seattle, who then brought in Larry Weinberg of Los Angeles and Robert Schmertz of Boston. Later, Sarkowskly and Schmertz sold their shares to Weinberg, who was the teams majority owner until the club was sold to Paul Allen in 1988.
