The Golden Blades were the New York Raiders under new owners for 1973-74, still at Madison Square Garden, and the players wore white skates with gold-colored blades. They added Andre Lacroix, the league's 1972-73 scoring champion, but went 6-12-2 before the owners missed payroll and gave the team back to the league. In November 1973 it moved to Cherry Hill as the Jersey Knights.
