Hershey Cubs Explained

The Hershey Cubs were a minor professional ice hockey team based in Hershey, Pennsylvania. The team played at the Hershey Sports Arena and dissolved after one season.[1]

History

The Hershey Bears had been members of the Eastern Amateur Hockey League since its inception. In 1938, after winning three consecutive league championships, Hershey was invited to join the newly created International-American Hockey League.[2] When the Bears left, they did not completely abandon their old conference and Hershey Estates, the team's owners, founded a second team they called the 'Hershey Cubs'. The Cubs finished last in the 4-team conference and then withdrew from the league after the season.[3]
