| - | The THL was founded in 1960 by [[Rey Marcotte]] in Trowburgh, Lismane along with six owners who all desired to better organize professional hockey in Torland. Joining Marcotte was Wayne Leyva, Seymour Duval, Claud Elam, Don Giordano, Leo Rankin, and Bernard Willard. | + | After World War II, with sporting and entertainment back on the rise, several independent team owners took notice of the sports leagues and teams being formed both in Torland and in the United States and Japan. Baseball was beginning to boom. The Dodgers had moved to LA and the Giants had taken over San Francisco. In Torland, [[Waterdee]] had become the new capital for baseball in the north Pacific and teams were joining rapidly as stadiums were being built or renovated. Collegiate hockey was a way of life in the northern coastal areas of Torland, even more so the numerous independent teams. With the resurgence of entertainment and organized sports back in the public eye, the smaller teams and their non-existent budgets were struggling to keep up with the demand. |
