History
After the Sioux City Sunhawks folded in the summer of '52, the American Amateur Hockey League rebranded as the Central Hockey League. The five other league members continued with the league, however, all three that were located in the twin cities folded following the season. The CHL collapsed with the remaining two teams forming the Minnesota Hockey League.[1]
