The Kansas City Greyhounds were a professional ice hockey team. Based in Kansas City, Missouri, they operated within the American Hockey Association (AHA) under various names from 1927 to 1942.
The franchise was a reiteration of the Chicago Cardinals, which played in the AHA in the 1926–27 season. After a dispute between the owner of the Cardinals and the National Hockey League (NHL), the Cardinals folded.
The NHL's Chicago Black Hawks owned the contracts of a number of the Cardinal players, and started a new AHA franchise in Kansas City. The Kansas City Pla-Mors operated from 1927 to 1933, changed its name to the Greyhounds – its longest used name – from 1933 to 1940, then was renamed the Kansas City Americans from 1940 to 1942, after which the team folded.
