The Central Illinois Flying Aces, based in Bloomington, IL, are a Tier I junior hockey team that competes in the US Hockey League. Playing their home games at the Grossinger Motors Arena, the team has a rich history in the Bloomington hockey community, with previous minor league professional teams in the IHL, CHL, and SPHL.
After the SPHL's Bloomington Thunder folded in 2014, new owners acquired the rights to expand and establish a Tier I junior team in the USHL. The team, formerly known as the Bloomington Thunder, rebranded as the Central Illinois Flying Aces and has since become a prominent part of the Southern Illinois hockey culture, garnering attention from hockey blogs and enthusiasts alike.
