History

The Laconia Leafs played in Laconia, New Hampshire in the Tier III Junior A Atlantic Junior Hockey League (AJHL) from 2005 [2] to 2013 when Tier III junior hockey leagues underwent a reorganization. In August 2013, they announced their re-branding to New Hampshire Lakers as part of the also re-branded AJHL in the Eastern Hockey League (EHL). [3] However, they did not field a team for 2013–14 season. The franchise was re-located to Waterville Valley, New Hampshire and became the New England Wolves in the 2014–15 season of the EHL. [4] In 2015, the EHL added a lower division and the current teams were all placed in the EHL-Premier Division. In 2016, the EHL-Premier Wolves returned to Laconia, joining their EHL-19U Elite Division team at Merrill Fay Arena. In 2017, the league re-branded, dropping the Premier name from their top division and renamed the Elite Division to Premier.

Prior to and during their membership in the AJHL, the Leafs had fielded a Tier III Junior B team in the Metropolitan Junior Hockey League. In 2015, EHL created an Elite Division and many of the EHL organizations moved their developmental Tier III teams from the MetJHL to the new EHL-Elite including the Wolves.
