River Falls Renegades

[2] Their highest achievement was advancing to the 2011 USA Hockey National Tournament where they defeated the Seattle Totems of the Northern Pacific Hockey League[3] becoming the only team to win a game at Nationals with a losing regular season record (the unusual circumstance stemming from the Crusaders winning the bronze medal game, the MnJHL runners-up Rochester Ice Hawks automatically qualified as they were hosting the tournament).

A local group quickly acquired and reorganized the team and staff to save the franchise.

[4] In 2013, the new group also acquired the rights to a Tier II North American Hockey League (NAHL) franchise that they relocated to Richfield, Minnesota, and named the Minnesota Magicians.

In 2015, the MnJHL was dissolved as many of the former members left to join the United States Premier Hockey League as part of a new Midwest Division.

[citation needed] From 2013 to 2016, players for the Crusaders/Magicians were also called up to their Tier II affiliate, the Minnesota Magicians, since they played their home games about thirty minutes away.
