The Cleveland Barons should never have existed. Born when the
National Hockey League's California Golden Seals-another team that
should never have existed-were transplanted to Cleveland in 1976
and greeted with apathy by the dwindling number of hockey fans in
northeastern Ohio, the Barons were an embarrassment to the city and
to the NHL. The only thing the team had going for them was the
state-of-the-art arena they played in, which was all but empty for
nearly every game they played. This book chronicles the Barons' two
regrettable seasons-a case study in what happens when an
ill-conceived professional sports team created in an expansion
splurge is moved, in an effort to save it, to a city that doesn't
really want it.
