History

Prior to the 2011–12 season the team was the Tulsa Rampage, an USA Hockey-sanctioned Tier III Junior A ice hockey team, based in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The team played in the Midwest Division of the WSHL at the Oilers Ice Center.
In 2011, Julie Wilson, the owner at the time, sold the Rampage to Mark Lantz of Cheyenne, Wyoming.
During their eighth season in Cheyenne on February 24, 2019, Lantz announced the team was for sale or seeking additional investors. He claimed the city's new administration in 2018 made new lease for the arena with a 52% increase in the arena fees while simultaneously stipulating the team could no longer use advertisements around the ice rinks. The new administration, led by mayor Marian Orr, made the changes due to the city not want to charge the taxpayers to subsidize the ice rink as was being done with the previous contracts. On May 4, the team did not reach an agreement on a lease extension with the city and announced it would cease operations for at least the 2019–20 season with the franchise license returning to the league.
