Hockey is officially back in Bloomington thanks to a four-million-dollar investment from Hallet Sports and Entertainment.

At a press conference at Grossinger Motors Arena, Hallet Sports announced the Bloomington Bison as the team's official name. Jim Hallet, the Chairman of Hallet Sports says the venue in downtown Bloomington is the perfect place to start a team.

Regarding a mascot, the team's logo features a Bison with a hat in a nod to President Abraham Lincoln. The mascot also features the Route 66 logo.

The team is apart of the E-C-H-L, an affiliate of the N-H-L. Hallet says ticket prices will range from 20 to 36 dollars.

For the city of Bloomington, leaders hope the team could bring in over 20 million dollars in an economic boost.
