on March 22, 1936. The Shamrocks finished with a record of 18–27–1 and lost over $40,000 in four months of play. A group of fifteen players arrived in Pittsburgh on November 3, 1936, to play for the Shamrocks. The only player, of the group, who played with the Shamrocks the year prior was Bill Huson. The second season never took place as the team folded. Legacy Contrary to popular belief, the Shamrocks did not evolve into the Pittsburgh Hornets. After winning the IHL championship in 1936, the Detroit Olympics moved to Pittsburgh to become the Hornets. On October 4, 1936, Pittsburgh theatre chain owner, John Harris, purchased the Olympics of the International-American Hockey League and merged them with players from the Pittsburgh Yellow Jackets and the Shamrocks. The team was renamed Pittsburgh Hornets. Bill "Red" Anderson and Bill Hudson were the only two players from the Shamrocks to be on the Hornets roster at the start of the 1936–37 season. 1935-36 team statistics References Ice hockey clubs established in 1935 International Hockey League (1929–1936) teams 1935 establishments in Pennsylvania 1936 disestablishments in Pennsylvania Sports clubs disestablished in 1936
