Dayton Bombers Wiki Information
The Dayton Bombers
were an ECHL ice hockey team located in Dayton, Ohio. The team most recently was in in the North Division of the ECHL's American Conference.
The Bombers originally played at Hara Arena from 1991–1996. The team moved to the Ervin J. Nutter Center on the campus of Wright State University in Fairborn, Ohio in 1996. They have played in front of more than 2 million fans in their 18 years.
On March 30, 2009, it was announced that the Bombers would not be playing during the 2009–2010 season [1]. Despite the arrival of the International Hockey League's Dayton Gems, the Bombers had not folded nor planned to relocate yet, and continued to aim towards securing additional investors and season-ticket holders to play in Dayton once again for 2010-11 [2]. However, on June 25 of that year, the Bombers owner turned the team's membership back to the ECHL, citing lack of a suitable business partner or re-entry plan [3].
