The Madison Monsters were a minor league hockey promotion that played four seasons at the Dane County Coliseum in Wisconsin’s state capital. The team formed as an expansion franchise in the Colonial Hockey League in 1995. The CoHL changed its name to the United Hockey League in 1997. The colorfully attired Monsters sported an ultra-90’s palette of teal and purple and also incorporated pinstripes into their garish hockey sweaters. After the 1998-99 season, the Monsters moved away to Knoxville, Tennessee. A new United Hockey League expansion franchise, the Madison Kodiaks, immediately replaced the Monsters but folded after just one season in 2000.
