Professional Sports in Connecticut
Connecticut has been the home to many
professional or semi-professional sports
teams or events. The only current professional
team in Connecticut is the Connecticut
Sun, a member of the Women’s
National Basketball Association. The
CT Sun are housed in the Mohegan Sun
Arena in Uncasville, CT.
The Hartford Wolfpack, an American
Hockey League affiliate for the New
York Rangers (NHL), are one of three
minor league teams who call Connecticut
home. The New Britain Rock
Cats (Minnesota Twins, MLB) and the
Connecticut Defenders (San Francisco
Giants, MLB) also have their home fields
in Connecticut towns. Joining them on the
semi-professional ranks is the Connecticut
Crush (Women’s Football).
