Omaha Knights logoOmaha Knights logoOmaha Knights logo


The Knights were one of the five original teams to make up the C.H.L.. The Knights also have the honor of winning the first Adams Cup. The Knights would shift the operation to Houston for the 65/66 season leaving Omaha without hockey for that season. The Knights returned the next season with a new farm team before exiting the league again in 1975. The Knights also have the honor of winning the most Adams Cups, 4. They share that honor with the Dallas Black Hawks.
