History

Professional basketball in Tampico started in the 1990s, with the Correcaminos UAT Tampico; the team achieved 4 championships and were runners-up twice in the Conferencia de Básquetbol Profesional. [3]

The Huracanes was established in 2009 as a joint effort of public institutions and private entities to bring professional basketball back to the city of Tampico. Huracanes is also the first LNBP team to have played a friendly match against a European team, FC Barcelona Bàsquet. [3]

After the 2014–15 season, the team went on hiatus, making their comeback for the 2018–19 season. [4]

For the 2018–19 season, Argentine Marcelo Elusich was appointed as head coach. [5]
