Lake Tahoe Pro Hockey are set to unveil their ECHL team name and logo on Thursday, November 30th, 2023. Up to this point they have been called Lake Tahoe Pro Hockey. It was announced back on July 10th, 2023, that Lake Tahoe would be getting an ECHL expansion team. The Lake Tahoe ECHL team will be the 29th team in the league. They will start play for the 2024-25 season. They will be playing their home games at the 5,000 capacity Lake Tahoe Blue Center.
Lake Tahoe will be the Vegas Golden Knights and Henderson Silver Knights as the third professional ice hockey team in Nevada. They will also be the western most team in the ECHL. The closest ECHL teams will be the Idaho Steelheads of Boise Idaho. Lake Tahoe will also be the first pro hockey team in the Northern Nevada and Lake Tahoe area since the 1997/98 season when the Reno Rage played in the West Coast Hockey League. Lake Tahoe did host two outdoor National Hockey League games back in 2020.
On July 21st, 2023 Lake Tahoe Pro Hockey launched a name the team contest. They are yet to announce an affiliate. Their future affiliate could be hinted at in the name. I still think they should be the South Lake Tacos. They likely will stick with the blue and orange colors. They likely have those colors as Tim Tebow is part owner and he is most famous for playing on the Denver Broncos who have the same colors. The Edmonton Oilers and New York Islanders of the National Hockey League also have those colors. That could be hinting at possible affiliations. The Bakersfield Condors, the Bridgeport Islanders, and the Greenville Swamp Rabbits, also use those colors.
Their jersey reveal will likely be at a later date.
