SPRINGFIELD, MA -- Springfield Thunderbirds team officials announced their new team name through a pulsating two-minute video on their arena’s state of the art LED scoreboard on Wednesday.

The Thunderbirds will make their debut AHL season in 2016-17.

“The Springfield Thunderbirds’ name represents the strength and pride of western Massachusetts. It is a nod to our hockey past, a tribute to the men and woman of the Air Force who are so vital to this region, and a symbol of the new energy and spirit that is palpable in Springfield,” said Nathan Costa, the Thunderbirds Executive Vice-President.
