Augusta Lynx Wiki Information
The Augusta Lynx
were a minor-league professional ice hockey team based in Augusta, Georgia. The Lynx played their home games at the James Brown Arena. The Lynx, who played in the ECHL, had affiliations with the Tampa Bay Lightning of the NHL and the Norfolk Admirals of the AHL.
The team was named for The Masters golf tournament held annually in Augusta, with the "Lynx" name a play on the golf term "hitting the links". The Lynx folded mid-way through the 2008-09 season on December 2, 2008, when it was announced that they were suspending operations and voluntarily relinquishing their league membership. [1]

History of the Augusta Lynx
The Augusta Lynx were formed in 1991 as the Raleigh IceCaps. The IceCaps moved to Augusta in 1998 when the Hartford Whalers moved to Raleigh, becoming the Carolina Hurricanes.
There have been talks in The Augusta Chronicle that there may be a new hockey franchise in Augusta within two years.
