history
The Kansas City Blues began playing in the 1967/68 season in the Central Professional Hockey League , which changed its name to the Central Hockey League a year later. After the team was no longer able to convince in terms of sport and occupied the rear places of the CHL in the regular season for three years in a row, those responsible initially stopped playing in 1972. Due to the opening of the newly built Kemper Arena , the team returned for the 1976/77 season as the St. Louis Blues farm team from the National Hockey League to the CHL and immediately won their championship title, the Adams Cup, in the playoffs . Then the Detroit Red Wings from the NHL settled their Kansas City Red Wings farm team in the city and the Kansas City Blues finally stopped playing.
