The West Covina Eagles were a semi-professional ice hockey team from West Covina, California. The club was a founding member of the Pacific Southwest Hockey League and played throughout the 1970s.[1]

History

[edit]

West Covina got its start in 1969 in the California-Nevada Hockey League and won the league championship in 1972. That summer, the league changed its name to the Pacific Southwest Hockey League but was otherwise unchanged.[2] In 1978, the team changed its name to 'California Eagles' but that didn't help stave off their financial difficulties. In 1981, the team suspended operations and have not played since.
