About Idaho Steelheads

The Idaho Steelheads proudly represent Boise, Idaho as an American professional minor league ice hockey team within the ECHL. The thrilling home games of the Idaho Steelheads take place at CenturyLink Arena in Boise, ID. The Steelheads shared Idaho Central Arena with the NBA D-League's Idaho Stampede for 11 years but ultimately became its primary tenant. Boasting a capacity of 5,002 seats, this vital venue is the perfect place to experience top-notch ice hockey action. Since the 2016-2017 season, The Steelheads have proudly taken to the ice in the Mountain Division of ECHL's Western Conference. In 1996, the illustrious Steelheads joined the esteemed West Coast Hockey League (WCHL) as an expansion team courtesy of Diamond Sports Management and its leader Cord Pereira. All were eager to see them compete in the 1997–98 season. When the WCHL entered the ECHL in 2003, they took along their beloved Steelheads. As of 2021, the Steelheads proudly stands as the most western ECHL team. 

In the 2003-04 season and since 2005, the Steelheads have formed an affiliation with the National Hockey League's Dallas Stars. As a result of this partnership, both teams have experienced numerous successes on ice. The Steelheads stepped into the spotlight for their new league, bringing home the Kelly Cup in 2004. Representing the Lone Star State, the Texas Stars of Austin have proudly been affiliated with Dallas Stars since the 2009-10 season. Hosting games in Boise, Idaho Central Arena's 5,002-seat capacity is the perfect venue to experience electrifying sports action. Drawing inspiration from Idaho's local wildlife, the Steelheads take their namesake from the renowned seagoing rainbow trout that has captivated anglers throughout the region. Nevertheless, the initial primary and alternate logos featured a hockey puck striking off of a mask and an emblem representing the state of Idaho respectively. In the 2006–07 season, Idaho's team underwent a remarkable rebrand that included an alternate logo depicting a trout. Following the Victoria Salmon Kings' departure in 2011, the Steelheads adopted their trout logo as their main one. 

For the entirety of their presence in both the WCHL and ECHL, the Steelheads have never failed to make it into playoffs at any point since 2018-19. After the Detroit Red Wings were eliminated from the 2017 Stanley Cup playoffs, The Steelheads proudly held onto their professional hockey record streak of 20 consecutive seasons in 2016–17. Unfortunately, the Steelheads' remarkable winning streak came to an abrupt halt when they were unable to qualify for playoffs during the 2021-22 season. At the beginning of 2019, news broke that the Seattle Kraken had approached the Steelheads to become their American Hockey League affiliate. However, instead, they opted for an AHL expansion team in Palm Springs, California- thus forming the Coachella Valley Firebirds. In July 2019, head coach Neil Graham was appointed assistant coach to the Texas Stars AHL affiliate and was then succeeded by Steelheads' former assistant Everett Sheen.
