RARE, VINTAGE 1974 OPEE CHEE, CURT BENNETT ATLANTA FLAMES HOCKEY CARD!!! The Atlanta Flames were an N.H.L. team based in Atlanta from 1972 until 1980. They played home games in the Omni Coliseum and were members of the West and later Patrick divisions. Along with the New York Islanders, the Flames were created in 1971 as part of the NHL's conflict with the rival World Hockey Association. The team enjoyed modest success on the ice, qualifying for the playoffs in six of its eight seasons, but failed to win a playoff series and won only two post-season games total. The franchise struggled to draw fans and, after averaging only 10,000 per game in the early years of 1979–80, was sold and relocated to Alberta to become the Calgary Flames.
