Rockton Wheels

The Rockton Wheels were an American semi-professional ice hockey team located in Rockton, Illinois. The team played for one season in the Continental Hockey League.
==History==
The Wheels were the third separate attempts to form a team at the Wagon Wheel Resort. This time the new outfit was hoping to capitalize on the success of the Chicago Cardinals and Peoria Blades who had managed to establish themselves in their respective communities. Unfortunately, Rockton wasn't a hit on the ice and the team ended the year fifth out of six clubs. That season was all the team could muster as the finances weren't good enough to support a sequel. Despite their brief existence, The Wheels are fondly remembered by locals and they are occasionally honored by the nearby minor league team.
