The team had a combined record of 75-55-18 in its two seasons, making the playoffs both times. In 2001, they lost in the semi-finals to the eventual champion Quad City Mallards, the next year losing in the first round. The team was coached in both seasons by Paul Gillis, and its leading career scorers were UHL veteran Glenn Stewart and Chicago Blackhawks draftee Mike Pomichter.[4] Five one-time National Hockey League players played for the team at one point, most notably former Boston Bruin Chris Winnes, who played in 67 games for the Knights.
