The Trailblazers were founded by Lise Barley-Maloney and a group of women and girls who held their first practices in Dorton Arena on the N.C. State Fairgrounds.
Since then, it has fielded at least two and sometimes three teams each season ranging in skill level from B to D/open (under USA Hockey classifications).
In the 2009-10 season, it is running a three-team house league and will organize "tournament teams" for specific competitions.
The Trailblazers' B team won the USA Hockey Women's B Southeast Regional title in the 2002-03 season.
The Trailblazers' C team was the silver medalist (second place) in the Southeast Regional division in 2009. Notable current and past players include Lise Barley-Maloney, who has served as C team head coach and on the board of the Carolinas Amateur Hockey Association (the regional USA Hockey affiliate); Julia Zeigler, 1999 national State Games female athlete of the year; Emily Cole, wife of NHL player Erik Cole; Sherene Halko, wife of former NHL player Steve Halko; and Kelly Kirwin, member of the Carolina Hurricanes' staff whose name is on the Stanley Cup as a part of that organization during its 2005-06 championship season.
