What name did the Ice Arena go by before becoming the home of the Adelaide Adrenaline?
Adelaide Adrenaline The Adelaide Adrenaline are a semi-professional ice hockey team based Adelaide, South Australia. They are members of the Australian Ice Hockey League (AIHL). The team plays its home games at the Ice Arena, located in the suburb of Thebarton. The team were founded in 2008 as the Adelaide A's to replace the Adelaide Avalanche who had folded mid-season. They changed their to the Adrenaline the following season. The Adrenaline's best result in the regular season was in the 2012 season where they finished second in their conference and second overall. The team have qualified for the playoffs on four occasions, winning the Goodall Cup in 2009 and finishing runners-up in 2010.
Spokane Canaries The Spokane Canaries (officially "Spokane Hockey Club") were a professional ice hockey team in Spokane, Washington. They played in the Pacific Coast Hockey Association for only one season in 1916–17. In the fall of 1916, the Canadian government expropriated the Patrick Arena in Victoria, British Columbia for war-time training purposes, making the arena unavailable for ice hockey use. It was decided to move the club based there, the Victoria Aristocrats, to Spokane, Washington. The team operated without an official nickname but were dubbed the "Canaries" by a local boy after seeing their yellow and purple uniforms. The team was a flop at the gate drawing poor crowds. As a result of this, on February 15 1917, it was announced that most of the teams home games would subsequently be moved to the Seattle Ice Arena (home of the Seattle Metropolitans). As well what was to be their final home game against the Vancouver Millionaires would be cancelled. The team would fold at season's end. Two years later the club was reactivated in Victoria to become the Victoria Aristocrats again.
