History

The Bisons were founded in the Canadian Professional Hockey League for the 1928-29 season. The Bisons transferred to the International Hockey League for the next season. Buffalo were IHL league champions in 1931-32 and 1932-33, winning the F. G. "Teddy" Oke Trophy.

On March 17, 1936, the Bisons lost their home arena due to damage caused by thirteen inches of wet snow deposited by an early Spring storm. The arena which was only eight years old at the time, was designed with a "Lamella Trussless" roof to improve indoor sightlines, and reduce support frames obstructing the view. The structure proved to be to weak and collapsed under the weight of the snow. The Bisons played the remainder of the 1935-36 season on the road.

The Bisons joined the International-American Hockey League for the 1936-37 season. The team started the season playing out of an arena in Niagara Falls, Ontario. It soon became clear that they wouldn't be able to make a profit and pay players' salaries from ticket sales in the smaller facility. The club permanently ceased operations on December 6, 1936, after playing just eleven games with a record of 3-8-0.

The original Bisons were replaced in 1940 when the Syracuse Stars relocated to Buffalo, becoming the new Bisons team. The new Bisons would play from 1940 and 1970.
