Hockey Lovers... here is some exciting news regarding a new junior hockey team coming to Appleton Family Ice Center in the Fall of 2026.

Help the new owners name the team!! Vote now...

Dear Appleton Ice, Inc. Hockey Community,

We are excited to share some incredible news with the people who make hockey in our region so special. The North American 3 Hockey League (NA3HL) has officially awarded a new franchise to Fox Cities Hockey LLC, and beginning this upcoming season, our team will call Appleton Family Ice Center home.

Our goal in bringing Tier III junior hockey to the area is simple: to strengthen the local hockey landscape and create meaningful opportunities for players, families, and fans. As we take our first steps, we want to share the mission that will guide our organization:

“Our mission is to build a disciplined team culture that pushes every player to reach their full potential. We strive to advance our athletes through elite development, character‑driven coaching, and a deep dedication to our community, both on and off the ice.”

While the league approval is complete, our identity is still being shaped—and we want the local hockey community to be a direct part of that process. Below is a link to a survey asking for your input as we choose our team name, colors, and overall identity. This team will represent the region, so it is important to us that the community helps define who we are.

As our program continues to take shape, we will also be opening opportunities for families and supporters to get involved. In the months ahead, we’ll begin recruiting billet families who can play a crucial role in supporting our players, as well as game‑day volunteers who will help us create an exciting and memorable atmosphere at the rink.

Although our full public announcement is planned for April, we wanted the hockey community—our local coaches, players, families, and fans—to hear this news first. You are the foundation of hockey in the Fox Cities, and we are grateful to begin this journey with you.

Thank you for your support as we bring junior hockey to the Fox Cities. We look forward to building something special together.

Sincerely,
Fox Cities Hockey LLC
