===History===
The team franchise was founded in 2005 as the Cajun Catahoulas, based in Carencro, Louisiana. It moved after the 2008-2009 season to North Richland Hills, Texas and was renamed the Texas Renegades. After the 2008-2009 season in North Richland Hills, the team was moved to Blades Multiplex Arena in Rio Rancho, New Mexico and became the New Mexico Renegades. In 2011, the Renegades were purchased by Revolution Sports Management, Inc.
Following the 2013-2014 season, the team announced a move to Springfield, Missouri and the Mediacom Ice Park and a name change to the Springfield Express. The team becomes the first junior hockey franchise in Springfield since the Springfield Spirit of the NAHL relocated to Alaska in 2005.
The team appears to have folded during the 2018 off-season.https://thejuniorhockeynews.com/the-death-pool-wshl-needs-three-body-bags/
