==History==
The team was established on June 5, 2017 in an effort to improve the China women's national ice hockey team. The team signed two players prior to the official announcement of the team in Noora Raty and American forward Kelli Stack. Red Star announced Digit Murphy, formerly of the Boston Blades as head coach. The team has also signed Rob Morgan from Yale as Associate Head Coach.
With their first round pick in the 2017 CWHL Draft, the Red Star selected Noora Räty. The club proceeded to select Alexandra Carpenter in the second round, while the third round saw the franchise select from NWHL All-Star Shiann Darkangelo.
Teams playing Red Star will play 3 game series in an effort to combat travel costs.
Prior to the 2018–19 season, the CWHL shut down the other Chinese team, the Vanke Rays. On August 3, 2018, Kunlun Red Star changed its name to Shenzhen KRS Vanke Rays. Rob Morgan, who served as the head coach of the Vanke Rays during its only season was named as the general manager for the consolidated club. The Kunlun Red Star brand was continued to be used by a separate hockey team for the Chinese national players as part of the national team's development in preparation for the 2022 Olympics.
