The Nighthawks would be the first team to open the brand new New Haven Coliseum in '72 and they would be the main tenants for much of the arena's lifespan. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Nighthawks fielded strong teams throughout much of the 70s and early 80s, which included a span of 10 straight playoff berths including two finals appearances in 1978 and 1979, although they would lose in both of those series. In 1979 and 1980, the team posted 46 wins each year, a franchise record. The team wouldn't have quite as much success in the 80s and early 90s, as they would make the playoffs in only four of their final nine seasons, however they did have a memorable run in 1988-89. The Nighthawks finished 4th in their division and had the lowest point total of the eight playoff teams, but would knock out Sherbrooke and Moncton in six games each to reach the AHL finals. They would lose in the finals to Adirondack to cap an unlikely playoff run.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Nighthawks kept the same logo throughout their history but went through some color changes over the years as their big league affiliation changed. They started with a yellow and blue color scheme, which did not correlate with their Minnesota affiliation. By 1977, the team became an affiliate of the much more local Rangers and donned red and blue. In the mid-80s, they would change to silver and black, as they became affiliated with Los Angeles. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe team can also boast a number of pro alumni players and coaches including Willie O'Ree, Bob Nystrom, Chico Resch, Bernie Nicholls, and Glenn Healy. A number of their coaches would also make the big show, including Robbie Ftorek, Don Perry, Parker MacDonald, and Doug Carpenter. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eToday, the tradition of the Nighthawks is kept alive by\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/newhavennighthawkbrewing.com\/\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/newhavennighthawkbrewing.com\/\"\u003eNew Haven Nighthawks Brewing\u003c\/a\u003e, which features Nighthawks Light, Nighthawks Old Time Ale, among other specialty beers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis would make a unique gift for the \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ehockey fan\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e in your life or a neat find for yourself of a vintage hockey team from CT\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Please note that we are a print-on-demand shop, which means that we will create your products upon receiving your order. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/vintageicehockey.com\/pages\/a-note-about-ship-times\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/vintageicehockey.com\/pages\/a-note-about-ship-times\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLearn more \u0026gt;\u0026gt;\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e--\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAbout the shirt from the manufacturer:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\nIf you're looking for a top-quality, instant-favorite sweatshirt, you've come to the right place!
