History
In 2005, the Springfield Spirit moved to Wasilla, Alaska, as the 'Wasilla Spirit', only to re-brand themselves as the 'Alaska Avalanche' the next season. The Avalanche played out of the Curtis D. Menard Memorial Sports Center in Wasilla until the end of the 2009–10 season. The Avalanche moved to Palmer, Alaska, beginning in the 2010–11 season and played at the MTA Events Center.[1][2]
The team relocated to Johnstown, Pennsylvania, in 2012, taking the place of the ECHL's Johnstown Chiefs, who moved to Greenville, South Carolina, in 2011. They became known as the Johnstown Tomahawks.[3]
