When theSouthern Hockey Leaguefolded due to financial issues in 1977, Baltimore had no professional hockey team based in the city.[1]A group of 22 businessmen formed the Baltimore Hockey Advocates in 1979, and raisedUS$100,000to purchase anexpansion teamfor Baltimore.[1]TheEastern Hockey League(EHL) granted the Advocates an expansion team on September 12, 1979, which revived the Baltimore Clippers name.[2]Three previous professional hockey teams in Baltimore had used the name, including theBaltimore Clippers (1945–1949),theBaltimore Clippers (1954–1956),and theBaltimore Clippers(1962–1977).[3]The Clippers name paid homage to local history in theBaltimore Clipper,and thePort of Baltimore.The newest Clippers played in the EHL for two seasons, and were affiliated as afarm teamof theMinnesota North Starsof theNational Hockey Leaguefrom 1979 to 1981.[4]The team played in green, white and gold uniform colors, the same as its parent team in Minnesota.[2]

Gene Ubriacowas the team's first headcoach.[5]He had playedleft wingfor the previous Clippers during the1967–68 AHL season,and retired as a player in 1970.[6]During the 1979–80 season, he briefly came out of retirement and played four minutes as an emergencygoaltender,stopping all three shots he faced.[7]In a home game on March 8, 1980, the Clippers defeated theUtica Mohawks5–4 in overtime. Spectators were excited by fighting between the teams and threw beer and other debris onto ice surface, which resulted in injuries and at least one arrest.[8]The Clippers won 41 games in the team's first season, tied for a second-place finish and five wins behind the first-place team.[9]Warren Youngwas the team's highest-scoringcenter,and led the league with 53goalsscored.[10]

In the 1980–81 season, the Clippers dropped to fourth place, winning 29 games.[5]DefensemanGerry Ciarcia, tied for the league lead with 68assists.[11]In the 1981 playoffs, the Clippers faced the first placeErie Bladesand lost all four games in the series.[12]In June 1981, the North Stars named Ubriaco coach andgeneral managerof theNashville South Starsin theCentral Hockey League.[13]On July 19, 1981, EHL team owners mutually agreed to fold the league, and begin a new league.[9]

TheAtlantic Coast Hockey League(ACHL) was founded in 1981 to replace the EHL.[14]The Advocates raised another US$100,000 to help establish the new league. Advocates' president John Haas stated the ACHL was set up "primarily to pay the financial obligations" of the EHL.[1]The Advocates also rebranded the team to Baltimore Skipjacks, to avoid paying US$10,000 intrademarkrights for the Clippers' name.[1]The team name had maritime origins in theskipjack boat,which later became one of thestate symbols of Marylandin 1985.[15]The Skipjacks did not affiliate as an NHL farm team during the season, and chose a green and white color scheme without the gold color used by the North Stars.[1]The Skipjacks unveiled a new logo which resembled aship's wheel,with the team name spelled out with ropes.[16]

On September 26, 1981, the new team name was announced, andMoose Lallowas named the team's new head coach who agreed to a one-year contract.[17]He had won two championships during twenty years of coaching in theInternational Hockey League.[17]The new Skipjacks finished third place in the1981–82 ACHL season.[16]Jim Stewartwas named anACHL first team all-star,as the league's best goaltender.[18]In the 1982 playoffs, Baltimore faced the second placeMohawk Valley Stars.In a high-scoring series with 72 goals, the Stars prevailed in seven games.[19]

Chick Trophyas the regular season champions of the AHL's south division.[30][31]The offense was evenly spread out, with 18 different players scoring at least 10 goals, andPaul Gardnerled the team with 81 points.[32]The Skipjacks were bolstered by the conscious decision of the Penguins to keep its prospects in the AHL, in an effort to finish last in the1983–84 NHL seasonand win the right to selectMario Lemieuxfirst overall in the1984 NHL Entry Draft.[3][18][33]In the playoffs, the Skipjacks defeated the fourth placeSpringfield Indiansin four straight games, then waited 15 days for the second round start asRochester AmericansandSt. Catharines Saintsseries went the full seven games.[33][34]The layoff possibly affected the Skipjacks, as they lost to Rochester in six games in the second round.[34]After the season, Ubriaco was given theLouis A. R. Pieri Memorial Awardas the AHL's Coach of the Year.[35]

In the1984–85 AHL season,the Skipjacks won a league record 16 consecutive games during February and March.[20][36][37]The Skipjacks featured seven different players with 20-goal seasons.[38]However, they were a more defensive oriented team than previous seasons, conceding only 252 goals, while scoring 326, and finishing second place in the south division with 98 points.[39]The defense was led by captainSteve Carlson,[3]and goaltenderJon Casey,on loan from the Minnesota North Stars.[18]Casey led the league with the lowestgoals against averageto win theHarry "Hap" Holmes Memorial Award,[40]and was voted the AHL's best goaltender, winning theAldege "Baz" Bastien Memorial Award.[41]In the playoffs, the Skipjacks defeated Rochester in the first round by four games to one, and then won all four games against the first placeBinghamton Whalersin the second round.[42]The Skipjacks' offense was shut down in the finals by rookie 19-year-old goaltenderPatrick Roy,and the team lost in six games to theSherbrooke Canadiens.[36][37]
