Nick Mileti took over a franchise first awarded to Calgary and made it the Crusaders, who played at the old Cleveland Arena and then, from 1974, the new Richfield Coliseum. Their big signing, Boston Bruins goalie Gerry Cheevers, won the WHA's first top-goaltender award in 1972-73, and Cleveland made the playoffs in all four of its seasons. In 1976 Mileti moved the team to St. Paul as the Minnesota Fighting Saints.
