Just a few historical notes:
The Houston Outlaws joined the CBC as an expansion team, long about 1961 or so, and were known as the Spitfires the first few years of their existence. I mainly focused on the 30s, 40s and 50s for the retro CBC, and so didn't include them on that list. I had thought about posting an updated teams list, perhaps from the 70s or 80s, and the Outlaws would definitely appear there. If I ever get around to posting the modern-day 2013, 32-team CBC, the Outlaws would fall into the NatCon's Southern Division.
Also, not 100% sold on the St. Louis Steamers just yet. I like the name a lot, but as I haven't gotten around to drafting a St. Louis backstory just yet, it could always be subject to retcon. We'll see what develops.
And, just for clarity, I usually drop the space in RiverCats, (though I do inexplicably like to capitalize the C). Just always liked the look of that for some reason. Of course, that might have been different back in the day. As a brief aside, the RiverCats started out as the Alleghenys way back when, spend some time as the Keystones, and then become the RiverCats later. Though now that I think about it, it does seem more likely that they would have been the River Cats first, and then dropped the space to become the RiverCats some time later, perhaps trying to be cool.

The retro CBC's really starting to come together.
