The Ottawa Civics were an Ice Hockey team based out of Ottawa, Ontario , Canada , that briefly played in the World Hockey Association . The Denver Spurs entered the World Hockey Association for the 1975-76 season. Financial difficulties, combined with ongoing reports that an NHL team (either the Kansas City Scouts or California Golden Seals ) was planning to relocate to Denver, resulted in a hasty mid-season move to Ottawa on January 2, 1976, where the team was renamed Ottawa Civics. The Civics would only survive for two weeks and eight games before the franchise ceased operations for good. After the team folded, all of the players were declared free agents and a Dispersal Draft was held. Because of the rushed nature of the move, and the Civics' short life, they did not officially adopt a logo or colours, and continued to wear the Spurs' uniforms. Their home ice was the Ottawa Civic Center . SEE ALSO |
