Team History[]
The franchise began in 2005 as the North Iowa Outlaws based in Mason City, Iowa. The team played in Iowa for five seasons, until moving to Onalaska in 2010. On Sept 5, 2014 team owner Michelle Bryant announced that the franchise was moving 10 miles south to La Crosse, Wisconsin and that the Chill would now play their games at the Green Island Ice Arena. For the 2013-2014 season, the Chill moved from the North American Hockey League's Central Division to the Midwest Division. The team moved from the Onalaska OmniCenter to the Green Island Ice Arena for the 2015-16.
On April 30, 2018 the league announced that the Coulee Region Chill were sold and would be relocated about 90 miles (145km) north to Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin playing out of the Chippewa Area Ice Arena. The team is being renamed to the Chippewa Steel. In a related move the La Crosse Freeze of the North American 3 Hockey League will have their membership transferred and would become the Coulee Region Chill while remaining in the same city..[1]
