Minnesota Blue Ox and Minnesota Artic Blast

[undfan]

I am looking for some information on these two roller hockey teams. Where were they based out of? Where did they play? What was the league like? Who were some popular players? <br><br>I appreciate any help.<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :D --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/happy.gif ALT=":D"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p></p><i></i>

I found a link: <!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://rhistats.tripod.com/teams.htm">r ... <!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br><br>It looks like the league ran from 1993 to 1999 then folded. The two Minnesota teams were based out of the Twin Cities area... <br><br>The Arctic Blast joined the league for the 1994 season... Then left but then the Arctic Blast rejoined the league for the 1996 season then folded... I think they played both years at the Target Center...<br><br>The Blue Ox joined the league for the 1995 season, played at Aldrich... Then left but then the Blue Ox rejoined the league for the 1999 season playing at Mariucci then folded...<br><br>I recognize a few names from the rosters as seen online such as Randy Skarda and Billy Lund... <br><br>The league tried to capitalize on the then booming success of the NHL but I know they did not draw very well...<br> <p></p><i></i>
