Orem Owlz
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Orem Owlz are a farm team affiliated with the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim baseball franchise. The team plays in Orem, Utah.
Formerly the Provo Angels, the team changed ownership after the 2004 season and moved to a new stadium in neighboring Orem. While retaining its affiliation with the Angels major league club, the team introduced a new name and logo at the time of their move. The use of zz in the team's name is consistent with the names of several other professional sports teams that have played along the Wasatch Front, such as the Utah Jazz, Starzz, Grizzlies, Blitzz, and Freezz, and Salt Lake Buzz.
The Owlz play in the Pioneer League, which is a rookie-level league with an abbreviated schedule. They won the 2004 Pioneer League championship (while still in Provo) and won the 2005 championship as well, after moving to Orem. The Owlz play their home games at Parkway Crossing Stadium, on the campus of Utah Valley State College.
