History

The Las Vegas Thunderbirds were announced by the Western States Hockey League as an expansion team on February 14, 2019. They began play in the 2019–20 season.
Team ownership includes Corey St. Germain, while its president is former NHL player John Marks. A first-round selection in the 1968 NHL Entry Draft by the Chicago Blackhawks, Marks has coached at the junior level as well as professional hockey. He retired from coaching in 2015 after four seasons leading the Fargo Force of the United States Hockey League.
In 2020, the Thunderbirds left the WSHL after one season and joined another independent junior hockey league, the United States Premier Hockey League, at the Premier level.
