On June 26, 2015, Bill Dadds announced that he intended to relocate the Battalion from North Adams before the 2015–16 season after lease negotiations for the ice rink fell through.

This was confirmed the next day when the Port Huron Prowlers, an expansion team, announced that it had acquired the Demonz's protected players.

On December 28, the Demolition then announced that its new home arena would be South Metro Sports in nearby Centerville, Ohio.

Dayton would then finish the 2015–16 season in the last qualifying playoff position and faced the Danbury Titans in the semifinals.

They were swept by the Titans in a best of three series, all played in Danbury despite Dayton being listed as the "home team" in game one.
