The Grand Rapids Owls originally started as an IHL team in the 1970s. They were nomads somewhat, starting off in Columbus, then Dayton, before finding their way to Grand Rapids. They moved mid-season in 1978-79 from Dayton to Grand Rapids, and despite the turbulence, went all the way to the IHL Finals in '79. The team would go out of business after the 1979-80 season but would be re-born many years later as a junior team in the early 00s.

Their home ice would be the Broadbent Arena at the Kentucky Exposition center.

The Louisville IceHawks played at Broadbent Arena in the early 90s, from 1990 through 1994. The team drew around 3-4,000 fans and were pretty successful on the ice. In their first season of 1990-91, they went 31-29-0-4 and made the playoffs, losing to Greensboro in the semifinals. Year two was even better, as they made it all the way to the finals before losing to Hampton Roads. After two more seasons, the team would depart the Bluegrass for Jacksonville, Florida.
