Atlanta Thrashers
The Atlanta Thrashers has been Atlanta's favorite professional ice hockey team for nearly a decade. The history of Atlanta Thrashers hockey dates back to 1997 when the NHL awarded an expansion franchise to the city of Atlanta, which had lost its only NHL team years before. Beginning with the 1999-2000 season — the first year of play for the Atlanta Thrashers — Atlanta could lay claim to an NHL team once again.
It wasn't until the 2005-06 season that the Atlanta Thrashers posted more wins than losses. The following season was even better for the Atlanta Thrashers hockey organization. As the Southeast division champs in the 2006-07 season, the Atlanta Thrashers made it to round one of Stanley Cup playoffs, but were knocked out of the Eastern Conference quarterfinals after four consecutive losses to the New York Rangers.
Home for the Atlanta Thrashers is Philips Arena, located in downtown Atlanta near the CNN Center. The Atlanta Thrashers practice facility is the IceForum in Duluth, Georgia, where the team's practice sessions are open to the public.
Head coach of the Atlanta Thrashers is John Anderson. The Atlanta Thrashers have two minor-league affiliates: the AHL's Chicago Wolves and the ECHL's Gwinnett Gladiators.
