RiverFrogs Hockey

The Louisville RiverFrogs were a ice hockey team competing in Louisville, Kentucky in the East Coast Hockey League. The team played from 1995 to 1998 at Broadbent Arena, which was nicknamed "The Swamp" at the Kentucky Exposition Center. The team's mascot was Rowdy River Frog and the games were locally known for the amount of non-hockey-related entertainment at shows, including a giant frog blimp, hot tubs, and concession booths. At the conclusion of the 1997-1998 season, the franchise was sold and moved to Florida to become the Miami Matadors for a year before moving to Ohio as the Cincinnati Cyclones in 2001.
