Nova Scotia Voyageurs (AHL, 1971-1984)
After playing several games in Halifax the previous season as the Montreal Voyageurs, the team made the move permanent at the start of the 1971-72 season, kicking off a 13 season stay on the Atlantic coast for the Montreal Canadiens farm team, now called the Nova Scotia Voyageurs, or “Vees” for short.
