Member changes
- In November of 2010, the Kalamazoo Wings were approved to found an expansion franchise with the league.[1] The new club, called the Kalamazoo Jr. K-Wings began play this season.
- In late March, the Minot Minotauros were approved as a second expansion franchise for this season.[2]
- On May 7, 2011, the Motor City Metal Jackets relocated to Jamestown, New York.[3] After the team reveled their new name to be Jamestown Ironmen, the town's displaced junior team, Jamestown Jets, filed a lawsuit against the team, arena and NAHL. The suit persisted for several years, progressing as far as the New York Supreme Court but was later abandoned after the Ironmen folded in 2013.
- A few days later, the NAHL approved the sale and relocation of the Owatonna Express.[4] The franchise was purchased by the Odessa Jackalopes, a minor professional team, who promptly suspended their professional club and began operating solely as a junior organization. The Express were renamed Odessa Jackalopes and took up residence at the Ector County Coliseum.
