History

The team entered the 'C' Conference of the 2018 MHL World Championships and finished 3rd in their group, arrowly missing out on promotion by a single point. They were given a second chance for promotion, however, following the resignation of the Vyktory national ice hockey team from the 'B' Conference, winning a play-off against Freeland to qualify. The team qualified successfully for the inaugural ice hockey tournament at the 2018 Micras Games however failed to advance from their group.

After a successful bid, the Florian Republic hosted the 'A' and 'B' Conferences of the 2019 MHL World Championships. The team finished 2nd in the 'B' Conference and were eventually knocked out by Senya in the quarter-finals, giving them an 8th-place finish. Following the tournament, Leon Burton stepped down as head coach and was demoted to assistant coach. He was replaced by Seth Peters but Peters was replaced by Ben Tippet of Dragonmoor Storm after Peter's withdrew from the post after his ICHL team, Northcliff Senators poor form in the league.
