A Brief History

The Denver Mavericks were an expansion team in the International Hockey League and recruited most of their players from colleges in Colorado. During the season, the IHL pulled the franchise from the original owners and gave it to another Denver group headed by David M. Segal. The new ownership refinanced the team, but the changes did not solve the team's financial problems. On December 3, 1959, after just 34 days, the team moved to Minnesota to become the Minneapolis Millers.
