About the brand ❤️
The Augusta Lynx were a professional minor‑league ice hockey team that competed in the ECHL, a mid‑level North American hockey league, from 1998 until 2008. Based in Augusta, Georgia, the team played its home games at James Brown Arena, drawing fans in a market known for its strong sports culture. The Lynx were named in playful reference to Augusta’s famous golf tournament — the Masters — with “Lynx” evoking the term links. Over their decade of operation, they served as a developmental affiliate for NHL and AHL clubs, helping young players progress toward higher levels of professional hockey. Financial difficulties and declining attendance eventually led the franchise to suspend operations in December 2008, marking the first mid‑season fold in ECHL history. The departure of the Lynx left a gap in Augusta’s hockey scene, one later filled briefly by other teams, but the Lynx remain a memorable part of the city’s sporting history.
