Last updated

The Arkansas GlacierCats were a short-lived minor-league hockey team located in Little Rock, Arkansas.

The Arkansas GlacierCats were a Western Professional Hockey League (WPHL) franchise in Little Rock, Arkansas. The team was owned by Ed Novess and Dan Hart of Austin, Texas [ citation needed ] and they played in the WPHL during the 1998–99 and 1999–2000 seasons. [1] Home games were played at the Barton Coliseum.

The GlacierCats were popular in their first year but were forced to suspend operations permanently in April 2000, [2] due to competition by the Arkansas RiverBlades of the East Coast Hockey League who played at the newly opened ALLTEL Arena in North Little Rock. [3]
