Asheville Smoke

In the 2000 season, the team recorded 45 wins against 22 losses, and made it to the championship before losing to the Quad City Mallards.

An attempt to hold a raffle to help the team finish the 2001–02 season raised legal concerns.

However, the team's successes led to the creation of the Asheville Aces in 2004 as a member of the more regional Southern Professional Hockey League.
