The Cincinnati Swords are a defunct American Hockey League team that played at the Cincinnati Gardens in Cincinnati, Ohio from 1971 to 1974. For their existence they were owned by and the affiliate of the Buffalo Sabres of the National Hockey League. Founded in 1971, when the newly created NHL expansion team, Buffalo Sabres, exercised their option to create their own AHL farm team to replace the team they forced out of the AHL, the Buffalo Bisons. Originally the Sabres wished to place the team in South Florida. However, the AHL balked because a prospective South Florida team would have effectively been isolated from the rest of the league. Their nearest rivals would have been the Tidewater Wings, over 500 miles away. The Sabres then proposed to base the team in Cincinnati. Although they were only in existence of three years, the Cincinnati Swords were immensely popular with their fan base. Please email any questions before purchasing. Thanks very much for looking!!
