​This  site is dedicated to all of the hockey teams that are part of Portland's great hockey tradition, dating back to 1914.
However, the majority of it is dedicated to the Portland Buckaroos, "Kings of the Road" and one of the winningest teams in all of professional hockey. From 1960 -1974 the Buckaroos won more games than any other team in professional hockey, including the Montreal Canadiens. The city of Portland embraced the team and the players, and it was love affair that would continue for 14 years.
The Memorial Coliseum,"The Glass Palace" was the place to be on Saturday Nights. Art Jones, Connie Madigan, Bill Saunders, Jack Bionda, Don Head, Dave Kelly, Norm Johnson are not only Buckaroo legends, but legends in the Western Hockey League. This site is intended to keep their memory and the history of the Buckaroos (and all the other great Teams in Portland's history) alive.
