They joined the International Basketball League for one season before returning to a resurrected CBA the following year where they stayed until their demise.

The team was sold again a year later to an investment group with Bob Przybysz as the managing partner and the name reverted to the Grand Rapids Hoops.

When the Van Andel Arena opened in the mid 1996, the Hoops moved there joining the Grand Rapids Griffins as tenants.

As attendance fell, the team moved to the DeltaPlex, a smaller arena located out of the downtown area.

The franchise was purchased and moved to nearby Muskegon's LC Walker Arena and renamed the Michigan Mayhem in 2004, which has now been disbanded as well.
