In 1929, the
Kitchener Dutchmen International Hockey League (IHL) franchise was transferred to Cleveland. In the summer of 1934, the team was renamed the
Cleveland Falcons, and under that name became a charter member of the International-American Hockey League (now
American Hockey League). Subsequently, the team was renamed the
Cleveland Barons for the
1937–38 season, a name they kept until 1973, when they relocated and became the
Jacksonville Barons midseason. The franchise folded after the 1974–75 season, following one season as the
Syracuse Eagles. == References ==
