DAYTON GEMS

(1964 - 1980)

 

The Dayton Gems joined the IHL in 1964. The league had just lost two of its Canadian based teams and Dayton boosted the league up to a meager 6 teams. The Gems remained a part of the league until 1977 when they folded. They were briefly replaced by the Dayton Owls who quickly moved on to Grand Rapids. They returned for one more uneventful year in 1979-80 before disappearing for good.
