Hartford Capitols
The Hartford Capitols were a professional basketball team in the Eastern Professional Basketball League (the former name of the Continental Basketball Association) based in Hartford, Connecticut. Originally playing in Baltimore, Maryland as the Baltimore Bullets (no relation to either the original Baltimore Bullets of the 1940s and early 1950s or the current Washington Wizards), the team reached the EPBL Championship Series in 1960 and 1961, winning the latter. After three seasons, the team moved to Camden, New Jersey, rechristened the Camden Bullets, playing for five more seasons and winning the EPBL Championship series again in 1965. After the next season, the team moved again to Hartford, playing for eight more seasons before folding.
