Michael Beavis, who didn't have two nickels to rub together, was announced as the Stampede's first head coach and owner having been an assistant coach with the Syracuse Stars of the Eastern Junior Hockey League as well as the Oswego Admirals of the Ontario Junior Hockey League.
[4] The team finished second in the regular season before winning the playoff championship against the Lake George Fighting Spirit.
[5] The Stampede also finished in 3rd place at the United Hockey Union National Tournament in April 2013 losing the semifinal game 1–0 in a shootout.
Morrisville is a D-3 school in the State University of New York Athletic Conference and the Stampede felt that the exposure its players will receive during the season will be highly beneficial to their goal of playing at the college level.
[7] After two seasons in Oswego, the team was sold to Lovell Hockey for mere pennies on the dollar to become the New England Knights.
