The Orlando Magic is a professional NBA team based in
Orlando |
|
|
| Orlando is home to the Orlando Magic,
an NBA pro basketball franchise that plays at the TD Waterhouse
Centre in downtown Orlando. The team made it to the NBA Finals
in 1995. The Orlando Predators of the Arena Football League
also play at the TD Waterhouse Centre. |
Since joining the league in 1991,
they have become one of the legendary franchises in the young
league, having a historic rivalry with the Tampa Bay Storm,
two ArenaBowl titles (1998 and 2000), and several historic
moments including the league's only shutout to date and a
procession called the Miracle Minute where they scored two
touchdowns with two-point conversions and forced a safety
to come from behind in the final minute of a game to win.
In addition, Orlando was the home of the Orlando Rage, a team
of the now-defunct XFL league, which only lasted one season. |

| Orlando was a stronghold of minor-league
ice hockey throughout the 1990's, being home of the Orlando
Solar Bears of the now-defunct International Hockey League.
Historically successful, they won the Turner Cup championship
in 2001 to end the IHL's final season. In 2002, the Atlantic
Coast Hockey League formed with Orlando forming one of the charter
franchises, the Orlando Seals, which won their Commissioner's
Cup in 2003. They moved to the World Hockey Association 2 in
2003, then the Southern Professional Hockey League in 2004.
The City of Orlando revoked their lease for the TD Waterhouse
Centre, forcing them to sit out the 2004-05 season. They moved
to Kissimmee and became the Florida Seals in November 2004.
