Their inaugural season got off to a rocky start with a bench clearing brawl after an opening game loss to the Omaha Heart.[3] After losing their first three games, they were forced to forfeit their final game against Atlanta Steam due to being unable to field a full team because of injuries.[4] The team did not return for the 2017 season and was replaced by the Pittsburgh Rebellion.
