«The Birds»
Flint, Michigan, built its name on cars.
The team carried its history with it. As the Plymouth Whalers it had won the J. Ross Robertson Cup in 2007 and gone on to finish third at the Memorial Cup that spring.
Since the relocation the Firebirds have not added to that collection; their best playoff run under the new name reached the Western Conference final in 2022. They play at the Dort Financial Center, a rink that holds 4,365 for hockey, and their closest rival is the Saginaw Spirit, the two clubs contesting the I-75 Divide Cup each season along the stretch of highway that connects the towns.
The names that travel furthest from that rink are the ones who went on to the National Hockey League.
