The Kansas City Pla-Mors were a professional ice hockey team. Based in Kansas City, Missouri, they operated within the American Hockey Association (AHA) under various names from 1927 to 1942 and then under the United States Hockey League from 1945 to 1949 as the Kansas City Pla-Mors.

History

The franchise was founded by Eddie Livingstone as the Chicago Cardinals in 1926.[1] After a fight over finances and ownership, Livingstone was forcibly removed as team owner and the team was transferred to Kansas City.

In their new home, the team performed well. After two (barely) winning seasons in the first two years, the Pla-Mors (taken from the name of their home rink) won both the regular season and league championship in 1930. Several successful seasons followed and after their second championship in 1933, the team's name was changed to 'Greyhounds'. A third title followed after the change but, after the departure of the head coach Bill Grant, the Greyhounds began to flag. 1935 saw the team post its first losing season in Kansas City, a trend that would continue for the rest of the decade. It wasn't until Johnny Gottselig took over as player/coach mid-way through the 40–41 season that the team recovered. Gottselig led the renamed 'Americans' to consecutive appearance in the league final but the team was unable to continue that run as World War II forced the league to cease operating for several years.

After the war, the United States Hockey League was created from the remnants of the AHA and the Kansas City franchise was restarted. The team took its original name of 'Pla-Mors' and won the first two championships in league history. In 1949, the team changed monikers once more and became the 'Mohawks'. The team played just one season under the new name before folding.[2] Afterwards, a different franchise came to Kansas City under the 'Cowboys' moniker but a year later the entire league ceased operations, ending professional hockey in Kansas City for the remainder of the decade.[3]
