A look at some of Virginia Beach (& Hampton Roads) defunct sports teams..

The UFL's short-lived Virginia Destroyers, played home games in Virginia Beach.

Probably Hampton Roads' most famous, long-gone pro sports team, the Squires. Young Dr. J is number 32..

Years ago, co-worker mentioned the Virginia Red Wings, who I had never been aware of.. Like the Squires, Wings played @ Norfolk Scope.


Another Hampton Roads hockey team, from the mid 7os Southern League, Tidewater Sharks:


I remember a semi-pro football team, the Tidewater Sharks, but they were active years later in the 9os.

Book I read @ some point, has lots of photos, & brief histories on the different incarnations of baseball in Norfolk.
