The name Roadrunners has been associated with the city of Phoenix for a long time. Over the years hockey teams named the Phoenix Roadrunners have played in the World Hockey Association (WHA), the International Hockey League (IHL), the Pacific Hockey League (PHL), the Central Hockey League (CHL), and the East Coast Hockey League, now known simply as the ECHL.
