Melbourne Mustangs

The Mustangs Ice Hockey Club (Mustangs IHC) are a semi-professional ice hockey team based in Docklands, Victoria, Australia. They are members of the Australian Ice Hockey League (AIHL).

History
The Mustangs IHC were founded in 2010. During the 2010 AIHL season the Mustangs competed in six exhibition games against ice hockey teams around Australia, including games against the Gold Coast Blue Tongues, the Gold Coast Grizzlys, and Perth Thunder. Following the closure of the 2010 season the AIHL granted a license to the Mustangs to join the league and compete in the 2011 AIHL season. Steve Laforet was named coach and Shane Hardy team captain for the 2011 season. However, on 23 June, it was announced that Laforet had resigned for "personal reasons" and assistant coach, Doug Stevenson would take over the head coach role.

The Mustangs lost their first game in the AIHL 4–8 against the Melbourne Ice. The game was the season opener and was played at the home stadium of both teams in Docklands, Victoria. The team finished sixth after the regular season, ahead of the Canberra Knights and the Sydney Bears.
