The Fresno Monsters are an Amateur Athletic Union-sanctioned Tier II junior ice hockey team based in Fresno, California. The team is a member of the Western States Hockey League[1] and plays in the Western Division. The Monsters' home venue is Gateway Ice Center[2] in Fresno, California, previously the practice facility to the now defunct Fresno Falcons of the ECHL.

History

The Monsters were announced in Spring 2009, filling a void for hockey in Fresno after the Fresno Falcons folded. The team began play in mid-September 2009, playing in the Tier III Jr. A Western States Hockey League. On December 15, 2009 the Monsters announced the franchise was given expansion approval into the Tier II North American Hockey League for the 2010–11 season and Fresno would host two levels of junior hockey for the first time.[3] On May 23, 2013, it was revealed the Monsters' North American Hockey League franchise would move to Wenatchee, Washington and become the second Wenatchee Wild. The Monsters continue to field a team in the Western States Hockey League.
