The New York Bluefins are a single A level professional hockey team in the Federal Hockey League based in New York. Home games were played at a number of rinks throughout the cape including ice arenas in Hyannis, Orleans, Falmouth, Bourne, and Martha's Vineyard Massachusetts.
They began play on October 28, 2011. The Cape Cod Bluefins were a result of a market study conducted by the Federal Hockey League during the end of the 2010-2011 regular season when they relocated the Broome County Barons to Cape Cod. The Barons franchise was owned by the Commissioner of the FHL, Don Kirnan.
On March 3, 2011 the Federal Hockey League franchise rights for Cape Cod were transferred to the Cape Cod Hockey Development Foundation.
On December 16, 2012, it was announced that the Bluefins were immediately moving to central New York and taking on the name "New York Bluefins"[1] and are currently playing their home games in Syracuse, New York[2] at several neutral locations [3]
