History

The current incarnation of the Blazers came into being in 1992 with the revival of the CHL, and has been one of the most successful minor league hockey franchises of all time, routinely drawing 8,000 fans or more and even matching a couple National Hockey League clubs for seasonal attendance over the years.^{[citation needed]} On ice, the Blazers have excelled as well, winning an unprecedented nine regular season division championships (including seven straight, 1996-2003), five regular-season points titles and CHL championships in 1996 and 2001. The franchise's two great stars, Joe Burton and Hardy Sauter, are the CHL's first and third all-time career leading scorers, and Burton is the fourth leading goal scorer in minor league hockey history. Center George Dupont was the team MVP in 1995-96. He only played three seasons, but in that time developed a reputation for hard nosed disciplined play on the ice. He was also a recognizable figure in the city of Oklahoma City. “NHL” redirects here. ...
