==History==
On October 7 2005, the Jefferson County Commissioners announced that the team would not be allowed to use Ford Arena for the 2005–2006 season because the site was being used for Hurricane Rita relief. The team was forced to cancel the season, but resumed gameplay in 2006–2007. During the 2007-2008 season they were affiliated with the Minnesota Wild of the NHL and the AHL's Houston Aeros. After the 2007-2008 season, they ceased operations and moved to Ontario, California, where they play as the Ontario Reign and are affiliated with the Los Angeles Kings.
