What reaches the room
The Danville Pounders are a notable chapter in small‑city hockey history. Based in Danville, Illinois, this franchise existed from 2006 through 2007 after evolving from the Pittsburgh Pounders and later transitioning to the Kensington Valley Pounders. While not an active touring act today, their story remains a point of local pride for hockey fans and sports historians. This page preserves the key facts about their formation, home venues, season performance, and the legacy they left on the NEHL landscape.
