The team was a member of the North American 3 Hockey League (NA3HL) since 2016 and played home games at The Colisée since 2015.
The franchise relocated several times under the operation of the Fighting Spirit organization before it was sold to the Colisée owner, Jim Cain, in 2017.
[2] Prior to the 2013–14 season, the team moved to Waterville Valley, New Hampshire, and were known as the AHI Fighting Spirit to reflect a partnership with the American Hockey Institute.
During this time, the organization left the AAU and petitioned for approval into USA Hockey sanctioning, which was given prior to the 2015–16 season.
In 2019, a Tier II North American Hockey League (NAHL) added an expansion team called the Maine Nordiques under separate ownership.
