History

The Wings were scheduled to be a Tier III Junior A team and play 40 games in the newly formed Continental Junior Hockey League in the 2010–11 season. With the close proximity of other CHJL franchises, located in Erie, Indiana and Pittsburgh, it was thought by arena management that several local rivalries would exist.[1] The team advertised open tryouts for both Johnstown and the Indiana franchises at one location, but the camps never opened due to the lack of ice[2] within Planet Ice,[3] a local ice skating facility that was central to both Johnstown and Ebensburg. Unfortunately, the team was unable to sign enough players and announced its intentions to return for the 2011–12 season.[4][5]

In 2011, the team was still unable to sign enough players and ceased operations prior to the 2011–12 season. The CJHL would also cease operations in November 2011.
