History

[edit]

The franchise was established in 2013 as the Topeka Capitals and played two seasons out of the 7,777-seat Landon Arena.

Led by GM/head coach Anthony Bohn, the Capitals captured the South Division title in their first season. After three seasons with the Capitals Bohn would move on to the Aberdeen Wings (NAHL) as an assistant. In 2018 Bohn was named assistant coach of the Maine Mariners of the ECHL.^[2] In 2020 Bohn was named head coach of the Danbury Hat Tricks (FPHL), but the Hat Tricks sat out the season due to COVID-19 restrictions.^[3] Bohn moved back to the NAHL in 2021 as the first head coach of the new El Paso Rhinos.

With stalled negotiations for a lease renewal, team owner, Don Stone moved to the Atlanta, Georgia, metro area in 2015 to meet the league deadline for a confirmed facility.^[4] The team began playing out of the Center Ice Arena in Sandy Springs, Georgia.

In the 2018–19 season, the team played home games at the Atlanta IceForum in Duluth.
