Muskegon Fury
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Muskegon Fury are a United Hockey League ice hockey team located in Muskegon, Michigan. They won the UHL title (Colonial Cup) in 1999, 2002, 2004, and 2005.
The Fury was established in 1992 after the Muskegon Lumberjacks of the International Hockey League relocated to Cleveland, Ohio. Hockey had been in Muskegon for 32 consecutive seasons to that point and Tony Lisman, Owner/President of the Fury, would not let that tradition end. Lisman had, and continues to keep, his vow to keep hockey in Muskegon and has been very successful in doing so. They lost to the Danbury Trashers in the 2005-2006 playoffs in their vow for a third consecutive colonial cup championship.
On August 30, 2006, Bruce Ramsey was named the Fury head coach for the 2006-2007 season, replacing Todd Nelson, who had accepted the assistant coaching position for the Chicago Wolves a few days earlier.
Muskegon’s L.C. Walker Arena, home of the Fury, is the premiere facility in the area for sporting events, concerts, shows and many more activities.
