Buffalo Blades

The Buffalo Blades were an American junior ice hockey team based in Buffalo, New York. They played in the Golden Horseshoe division of the Greater Ontario Junior Hockey League.

History
Founded in 1987, the Blades played out of the "Northeastern Junior Hockey League" from 1987 until 1997. In 1997, the Blades jumped to the "Empire Junior "B" Hockey League". In the 2005-06 Season, the Blades elected to field two teams, one to play in the Empire "B" League and another to play in the Golden Horseshoe "B" League. Each team's primary players were different, but listed the other team's players as affiliates. In the 2006-07 Season, the Blades sold their "Empire Junior "B" Hockey League" team to the Buffalo Stars.

As of the 2011-12 season, the team was renamed the Buffalo Blades and managed by Jerry Shorthouse and John Bruno.
