Cape Cod Freedoms
The Cape Cod Freedoms joined the NEHL in 1978-79, originally as the New Hampshire Freedoms. The NEHL sprang from the ashes of the NAHL, with former NAHL clubs like the Baltimore Clippers and the Erie Blades joining traditional NAHL locations such as Syracuse, Utica, and Johnstown. Later, the NEHL was renamed the EHL in an attempt to carry on the tradition of the earlier EHL, which lasted for decades and ultimately became the NAHL.
Neither the Freedoms nor the NEHL would survive. The Freedoms picked up and moved to Cape Cod in December 1978, only a few months into their stint in New Hampshire, and became the Cape Cod Freedoms. They'd conclude the season on the Cape before relocating to Richmond, Virginia, and becoming the Rifles the following year. The Freedoms went 33-36-1 in their lone season. The NEHL folded after the 1980-81 season.
