The New England Whalers joined the World Hockey Association (WHA) as one of the league's original teams. They won the inaugural Avco Cup championship in their first season which would end up being their only championship. The team moved to Hartford, Connecticut in 1974 and continued to be one of the most successful teams in the WHA, never missing the playoffs. They were included in the 1979 merger with the established league, but low attendance and the inability to get a new arena built led to the Whalers demise. In 1997, the team moved to North Carolina and was renamed.
