The Dayton Demonz are a professional ice hockey team based in Dayton, Ohio, in the Federal Hockey League. After the Dayton Gems of the CHL ceased operations, the Demonz (originally called the "Devils") were created as an expansion team in the FHL. The team plays their home games at the Hara Arena in nearby Trotwood.[1][2] The team was originally known as the Dayton Devils before changing names prior to their inaugural season.[3] The Demonz are an affiliate of the ECHL's Fort Wayne Komets
Inaugural Season (2012-13) [edit]
The Demonz, in their first season of FHL play, won their first franchise regular season game, 5-2 over the Williamsport Outlaws, as well as their first ever home game at Hara Arena, a 4-2 defeat of the Danville Dashers. The Demonz would continue to dominate the other teams in the Federal Hockey League, having possession of first place the entire season and ending the regular season with a record of 36-6-3-6, for a win percentage of .804. This included only one regulation loss at Hara Arena the entire season. Other highlights of the season included a 12-game win streak from January 18 to February 10, and 11 straight home wins from October 27 through December 21. Dayton was second in the FHL in attendance, attracting an average of 1,146 fans per game, behind only Danbury. The Demonz went on to sweep the Danville Dashers 3 games to none in the first round of the FHL playoffs, earning the FHL Western Division championship, and were eventually swept in three games by the Danbury Whalers in the Commissioners' Cup Finals.

Trivia [edit]
- The Demonz mascot, Bonez, is believed to be the skeleton of Blade, mascot of the Dayton Gems.
