Team: Chicago Cougars
Years Active: 1972–1975 (WHA)
Home: International Amphitheatre — Chicago, IL
The Chicago Cougars were one of the twelve founding franchises of the World Hockey Association (WHA), playing three seasons at the International Amphitheatre while attempting to carve out a hockey foothold in a city already firmly identified with its top-tier professional team. Owners Walter Flynn, Jordon Kaiser, and Larry Lamarca built a roster featuring center Ralph Backstrom, goaltender Cam Newton, and veteran defenders trying to differentiate the Cougars from the established competition.
The Cougars' on-ice high point came in 1973–74 when they advanced to the Avco World Trophy finals before falling to the Houston Aeros. Financial struggles in a city where they could never out-draw the established hockey market forced the Cougars to fold after the 1974–75 season — one of the WHA's shortest-lived original franchises but a memorable chapter of 1970s Chicago hockey.
