Halifax Citadels


The Halifax Citadels were a professional ice hockey team based in Halifax [Regional Municipality, Nova Scotia|Halifax], Nova Scotia. They played in the American Hockey League between 1988 and 1993. They were created by the relocation of the Fredericton Express and filled a void left by the relocation of the Nova [Scotia Oilers] to Cape Breton.
