Hundreds of fans crowded into the convention center to see the name and logo of Augusta’s new hockey team, which will revive the Lynx brand 18 years after the original team left.
Augusta’s new pro hockey team will begin play in October 2027 as part of the ECHL, with the team set to take the ice at the new Augusta Arena.
With a nod to the past, the team again will carry the name the Lynx. That’s the same name as a former Augusta hockey team − a play on words recognizing the community’s golf heritage.
