  • The Atlanta Knights were an IHL expansion team in 1992 as the top farm team of the NHL's Tampa Bay Lightning. They won the Turner Cup in the 1993–94 season. The Knights featured the first professional African-American head coach in John Paris Jr.. The Knights were also one of the first professional teams to play a female goalie, Manon Rheaume, in a regular-season game. ===Record in Atlanta=== For the 1996–97 season, the Knights relocated due to the impending arrival of a National Hockey League team in Atlanta (Atlanta Thrashers), and the loss of The Omni as an arena. During their years in Atlanta, Rick Morgan was their full-time national anthem singer and encouraged the crowd to shout "KNIGHTS!" during the line, "Gave proof through the "KNIGHTS" that our flag was still there." It is still customary to hear an emphasized, shouted "KNIGHTS!" during the national anthem at Thrashers games at Philips Arena by spectators in honor of the team.
