Atlanta native Herman Russell was part-owner of Atlanta's first professional hockey team upon their founding in 1972, making him the first African-American owner in professional sports. Ironically, the club's nickname, chosen by majority stakeholders via fan ballot, was chosen in memorial to the fires set in and around Georgia by the Union Army at the culmination of the American Civil War. The club's eight years the Flames qualified for the playoffs six times, but never won a playoff series.
