History
editAfter Eau Claire was consistently among the top choices in fan polls for potential expansion candidates, the Arena League officially announced Eau Claire as the home of their sixth team and second 2025 expansion team on May 17, 2024.[1]
Following a name-the-team contest, the Jammers name, logo and color scheme were announced on July 18, 2024, at their namesake Country Jam USA.[2] On October 10, 2024, the team was briefly renamed the Log Jammers for 18 days before changing their name again to the Axemen on October 28.
