Baltimore Orioles (ice hockey)

The Baltimore Orioles are a defunct minor league ice hockey team that operated out of Carlin's Iceland from 1932 until 1942.[1] The team was Baltimore's first professional hockey club.[1] The Orioles played in the Tri-State Hockey League during the 1932–33 season.[2] In 1933, the Orioles joined the Eastern Amateur Hockey League and remained there until 1942.[3] The Orioles were coached by Billy Boyd (1933–35), Gord Fraser (1935–36), Bill Hines (1938–41), and Elmer Piper (1941–42).[3] The Orioles won the EAHL championship in the 1939–40 season.[3] The team disbanded in 1942, when it lost players to enlistment for service in World War II.[4] The Orioles' EAHL replacement in Baltimore were the United States Coast Guard Cutters, a team made of enlisted sailors.[4]
