The franchise opened on the road for ten games while First Arena was finished. Named UHL franchise of the year.
The first season in franchise history, and the only one played partly in someone else's building: the club opened on the road for ten games while First Arena was finished, then spent the rest of the year in it. Todd Brost was the head coach, the affiliation was with the Columbus Blue Jackets, the team finished second in the Northeast Division and qualified for the playoffs, and the league named the franchise its organisation of the year. For a first season that is an unusually complete set of answers.
What the summary does not give is a win-loss total, which is why the record row above is blank rather than zero. That gap runs through the United Hockey League years: of the seven seasons the club played in the UHL, only 2001-02 and 2003-04 carry a published record here.
No club release from this season survives in the archive. The earliest one it holds is from 2004, so the first four seasons are represented by their summary alone — no roster, no game reports, nothing in the club's own voice. The two lines above are the whole of what was written down.

No club release from this season survives in the archive. The earliest that do come from 2004, which is why this season is recorded here by its results alone.
