Quad City Flames
The Quad City Flames is the recently established ice hockey team that represents the Quad City in one of the most intriguing, fast paced and invincible sports of this time. The Flames is currently owned by QC Sports Ventures Incorporated and will be actively participating in the National Hockey League as well as the American Hockey League from this upcoming fall of 2007. The team finally moved to the Quad Cities on May 24, 2007. As a result, the arena's previous hockey tenant, the Quad City Mallards of the United Hockey League, are ceasing operations.

One of the more interesting aspects of the ordeal is that the Flames are the third team over the last few years that have been persistent in representing the Quad Cities in the famous American Hockey League. The teams before the Flames that have tried but could not seal the deal were the San Jose Sharks and the Edmonton Oilers.

Though the Flames will be playing from Illinois and representing the Quad Cities, the franchise of the team originates from Omaha, Nebraska. Under the supervision of this franchise, the team played from Omaha as the Ak-Sar-Ben Knights. The Ak-Sar-Ben Knights had a very rough two seasons and lost approximately over $ 4 million. After such a disastrous start, the franchise decided to relocate. The new franchise will join former UHL rival, the Rockford IceHogs in moving up to the AHL (American Hockey League).
