History

The Sun used to be the Orlando Miracle. On January 28, 2003, Connecticut was announced as the location the Miracle would relocate to. In October of 2002, the Miracle had announced their intentions to move out of Orlando, Florida. The Miracle had begun play in the WNBA in 1999. They had played their games at TD Waterhouse Centre.

The Sun lost their first game, 79 to 72, to the Houston Comets.

In 2004 they drafted Minnesota Golden Gophers star Lindsay Whalen amidst rumors they would trade her to the Minnesota Lynx. However, she remained on the team through the season and would lead the Sun to the WNBA Finals in their second season of existence, where they lost a three game series 2-1 to the Seattle Storm.
