So, what are teams you miss from back in the day. These are teams that folded or moved and thus broke your heart. I'm going to start with these 3:    |

 Really upset when WLAF ceased to be....the Surge was the only thing Sacramento ever had in terms of a championship team. |

 Our old IHL team. Sure we have the Wranglers now in the ECHL, but it's not the same. |

Kansas City Kings
Seeing the franchise be an embarrassment to basketball on a near yearly basis in Sacramento does make me feel better ... a little better
Still pissed though

New Orleans Jazz, because it makes sense.

New Orleans Jazz, because it makes sense. Same thing with the Minneapolis Lakers. I always forget that there are practically no lakes in LA. They barely have a damn river. And a great answer for this is every professional sports team that migrated to California. Their names were better in other places where they came from (except for perhaps the Athletics). |

The Worcester IceCats moving from Worcester, Massachusetts to Peoria, Illinois to become the Rivermen. Now we have the Worcester Sharks, but it just seems weird having a shark as the mascot for our AHL franchise. Worcester is a landlocked part of Massachusetts in the middle of the state. It just seems more likely that I'd run into an IceCat (which I think is a fictitious animal) around town in the woods than ever seeing a shark. New Orleans Jazz, because it makes sense. Same thing with the Minneapolis Lakers. |

My town's Arena Football League team, the Pittsburgh Power. They go from 4-14 to 15-3, make the playoffs and then BAM! Ownership decides to bail out.
The night before the first game of its inaugural season, the team had an open house at the arena. Fans could watch the players practice and then were invited down on the field to meet them. That playing surface felt like it could cause some serious friction burns!

That playing surface felt like it could cause some serious friction burns! Yeah, I didn't understand that either. Yeah, attendance wasn't over the top, but they still averaged around 6,400 people/game. For a city that was more about the Steelers, that's still impressive. I know indoor leagues and teams that would kill for that kind of attendance number. |

I know the OP already posted the Whalers, but this thread gives me the excuse to post this:

The Charlotte Hornets.
They were my favorite basketball unit as a kid. LJ, Zo, Muggs, Kendall Gill, etc.
