Pla-Mors

Believe it or not, the Kansas City Greyhounds were not the first hockey team in the Kansas City area.  There was a team that preceded them by six years called the Kansas City Pla-Mors.  As a matter of fact, the Greyhounds would in fact, be what the Pla-Mors would become in 1933.  That incarnation played in the American Hockey Association and would be in existence until 1942.  In 1945, the Pla-Mors would return to life in the United States Hockey League and the name would stick until 1949, until they became the Kansas City Mohawks.  The league would fold in 1951, ending the team's second run, yet boasted players that would eventually play in the NHL in Al Rollins, John Jackson, Bert Olmstead, and Vic Staduik.
