The Texas Wildcatters are the East Coast Hockey League team based in Beaumont, Texas. They currently play their home games at the Ford Arena. They were the affiliate of the Florida Panthers in 2004-2005. They were known as the Huntington Blizzard from 1993-2000. The Wildcatters began play in 2003. On October 7 2005, the Jefferson County, Texas Commissioners announced that the team would not be allowed to use Ford Arena for the 2005-2006 season because the site is being used for Hurricane Rita relief. The team was forced to cancel the season, but is said to return in 2006-2007.
