Team logo when the franchise played as the Cincinnati Swords from 2013-2015.
The team was previously known as the Queen City Steam from 2007 to 2013. In 2013 the Steam re-branded as the Cincinnati Swords after the merger of two youth hockey programs in the Cincinnati area. The Swords name is a homage to the former American Hockey League team of the same name. On August 14, 2014, the NA3HL approved the sale of the Cincinnati Swords to the Miami Valley Hockey Association owned by Ryan and Jim Colville.http://www.na3hl.com/news/story.cfm?id=11886
On April 10, 2015, the Swords announced that it would be renamed and called the Cincinnati Thunder beginning with the 2015–16 season. On June 2, 2015 the Thunder announced that they will be playing out of the historic Cincinnati Gardens for the 2015–16 season.
The team was forced to relocate when the Cincinnati Gardens closed down during the 2016-17 season.
