FormerlyNew England Blazers

The Boston Blazers were a member of the

FleetCenter
in 1996 and played there until 1997.

A separate franchise, also known as the

Boston Blazers, was founded in 2007 and played in the National Lacrosse League from 2009 to 2013. While the name of the new team was chosen "in part due to the popularity and nostalgia associated with the former Boston Blazers franchise" it did not share any lineage with the MILL Blazers.[1]
