Franchise History

The Chiefs joined the NEHL as an expansion team for the 2007-2008 season. When the season was cancelled and the league folded mid-season in January 2008 the Chiefs after playing 8 games had a record of 4 wins and 4 losses. The owners tried to schedule Canadian Sr. teams to complete the remaining the home schedule to no avail. The team was announced as a member of the EPHL on April 22, 2008 but the name was not officially announced until July 2, 2008. Mr Premeo obtained the name "Copper City Chiefs" from the Copper City Chiefs a Semi-professional hockey team from Rome, New York, who also played their games at the Kennedy Arena from 1964-1988. However before the 2008-09 EPHL season began the franchise folded in early October 2008. Premo cited arena issues, economic issues, and lack of funds as reasons why the team folded[1]

gollark: What?
gollark: Yes.
gollark: There are several problems with what I have now: incorrect timings, meaning you sometimes dodge too late; the system not knowing your velocity due to the insane way MC handles this, making it impractical to determine what's going to hit you; the lack of any detection of obstacles meaning you could dodge into walls.
gollark: If I did, I would have implemented that, unless it was very hard.
gollark: I don't know how to.
