Paul Korczyk was also one of the founding members of the ISHL. His Washington Rainiers was one of the teams that joined the league for it's inaugural season. After two and a half seasons Korczyk had to step down from the GM duties due to busier life outside the hockey and for the S3 the Rainiers wandered to Montreal where it was renamed as the Wanderers. A few seasons later the Wanderers turned to the Bears. Despite all those location and name changes Paul Korczyk remained as the member of the team for his whole ISHL career. He was also re-drafted to the new version of the Bears in the BESL, although he spent the majority of his only BESL season in the minors. After BESL S1 Paul Korczyk retired from the TBN simulation hockey, and the Bears didn't waste time to announce the retirement of the jersey number 12, the number that had always belonged to the founder of the franchise, and a true legend of the TBN leagues.
