The Peoria Rivermen were a professional ice hockey team in the ECHL. They played in Peoria, Illinois, United States, at the Carver Arena. The team replaced a team of the same name that had played in the higher budget International Hockey League since 1984 after several seasons of financial losses.[1] In 2005, ownership obtained a franchise in the American Hockey League.[2]
