Heartbreak in Hartford: The Fall of the Whalers

The Hartford Whalers live on as one of the most iconic franchises in hockey and professional sports. Their signature logo, Brass Bonanza goal song, and list of legendary players — spanning Gordie Howe, to Bobby Hull, to Ron Francis — have forged a legend that, even 25 years since their departure, lives on in the memory of Hartford residents and the greater hockey community. But their stay in Hartford lasted just 18 years. What led to their almost sudden departure for Raleigh? This video will explore the Whalers' decline, from changes in ownership, to a revolving door of coaches & general managers, to costly trades.
