The Billings Marlboros were a Continental Hockey League (CnHL) ice hockey team from Billings, Montana, active during the 1985–86 season.[1] The team played at the MetraPark Arena. Billing was twinned with the Minot Maple Leafs, who shared a corporate office, but neither team was financially successful. On December 7, 1985, both teams ceased operations when neither had funds to continue playing.[2] While there were some faint hopes that one of the teams could be sacrificed to save the other, there wasn't enough money left over for even that extreme measure. Neither team played again and the league itself folded after the season.
