North Shore Knights

In 2016, St. Clair Shores, Michigan, were granted an FHL expansion team for the 2016–17 season.

[1] The team went on to play in neutral site games in Battle Creek, Michigan, and Kingsville, Ontario,[2] due to poor attendance in St. Clair Shores.

[3] The team was later announced to have relocated to Kingsville as the North Shore Knights.

[4] The Fighting Saints' ownership group was headed by Michal Kolarik, who also owns the local Kingsville Kings junior hockey team[5] and many players from the Kings also played on the Fighting Saints prior to the relocation.

[2] Over the course of the season, the team had multiple head coaches in Jiri Micka and Stephen Esau.
