B-League Update | Reno Ice Adult League Concept Part Fifty Two

The sixteen B-League teams are divided into four divisions consisting of four teams. That is the same as in season one. The divisional names and logos did not change for season two. The B-League did see some realignment for season two. Some teams moved divisions. Some teams are no longer in the B-League. Two expansion teams also entered the B-League.

In the Nevada Division are Blue Moon, Coors Banquet, Coors Light, and Hop Valley. All of the teams in the Nevada Division are sponsored by Revision Brewing Company. They are free agent teams named after beer sold by Revision Brewery. Coors Light did update their logos for season two.

In the Reno Division are 4 Seasons, Reno Pond Hockey, Reno Sriracha, and the Slappy Gilmores. 4 Seasons are an expansion team entering the RIAL in season two. Reno Pond Hockey is a local hockey organization. Reno Sriracha is a team named after a hot sauce. Both Reno Pond Hockey and Reno Sriracha were in the Reno Division in season one. The Slappy Gilmores are the bad boys of this concept. They moved to the Reno Division for season two after playing in the Sparks Division for the first season.

In the Sparks Division are the Hot Shots, Hyundai N-Line, the Murder Hornets, and Q&D Construction. The Hot Shots were started and financially supported by a bar by the same name in Sparks, but has since become independent. Hyundai N-Line are an expansion team for season two owned by Carson City Hyundai, Lithia Hyundai of Reno, Hyundai Motors and Jeinbuk Hyundai Mototrs FC. The Murder Hornets are an expansion team founded in 2021. Q&D Construction are a corporate team. The company owns the team and all of the players work for that team. They moved to the Sparks Division for season two after playing in the Reno Division for season one. The Hot Shots and the Murder Hornets are the returning to the Sparks Division after playing there in season one.

In the Tahoe Division are Cruz Construction, the Desert Dogs, the Tahoe Dawgs, and the Tahoe Storm. Cruz Construction is a construction company but unlike Q&D Construction they do not exclusively source their employees to be players. The Desert Dogs are partially owned and operated by Bardown Hockey Shop. They moved to the Tahoe Division for season two after playing in the Sparks Division for season one. The Tahoe Dawgs are an adult multi-sport club in the Reno/Tahoe area. The Tahoe Storm is a team made up of former Tahoe League players. Cruz Construction, the Tahoe Dawgs, and the Tahoe Storm were all in the Tahoe Division for season one.

The Doughboys and Mid-Ice Crisis are no longer in the B-League. They both left after the first season. The Dough Boys formerly played in the Reno Division of the B-League. Mid-Ice Crisis formerly played in the Tahoe Division of the B-League. Both teams have moved to the C-League for season two.

4 Seasons took the Doughboys place in the Reno Division of the B-League. The Slappy Gilmores moved to the Reno Division for season two to be closer to their rival Reno Pond Hockey. Hyundai N-Line took the spot left by the Desert Dogs in the Sparks Division of the B-League. Q&D Construction moved to the Sparks Division after being ousted from the Reno Division to make room for the Slappy Gilmores. When the spot in the Tahoe Division became available (after Mid-Ice Crisis left for the C-League), multiple teams applied for that spot as the Tahoe Division is the most prestigious division in the B-League. The Desert Dogs were awarded the spot. Moving from the Sparks Division to the Tahoe Division also put the Desert Dogs closer to their rival the Tahoe Dawgs.
