It moved to Cleveland in 1992 as part of the IHL's move upmarket, bringing professional hockey back to Cleveland for the first time in 14 years. It later folded along with the IHL at the end of the 2000–01 season.

In the 1995 hockey action movie Sudden Death starring Jean-Claude van Damme, Lumberjacks players impersonated the Chicago Blackhawks.
