[edit] History

On April 15, 2009, the Central Hockey League announced an expansion team for Allen, to begin play in the 2009-10 season.[1] The team is owned by EXCO Resources chairman Douglas H. Miller and former NHL defenseman Steve Duchesne. That same day, the team announced an affiliation with the NHL Dallas Stars. Through this affiliation, they will also affiliate with the Austin based AHL Texas Stars.

On April 27, 2009, the ownership group unveiled the team's name, logo, and colors.

On September 1, 2011, it was announced that the Americans signed a one year affiliation deal with the Colorado Avalanche of the NHL and by extension the Lake Erie Monsters of the AHL. This agreement officially makes the Americans affiliates of the Avalanche after having a working relationship with the Monsters over the past two years. This is in addition to the existing affiliation with the Dallas Stars/Texas Stars organization [2][3]

[edit] Mascot

At the opening weekend of the 2010 season the Americans introduced their mascot, Biscuit the American Bulldog.
