History

Before the franchise's move to Middletown, the NAHL franchise played from 2005 to 2012 in Traverse City, Michigan, as the Traverse City North Stars, and from 2012 to 2015 in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, as the Soo Eagles. Before purchasing the NAHL franchise, the Titans' junior hockey organization had previously fielded a Tier III junior hockey team in the Eastern Hockey League from 2012 to 2015. They also had a team in the Tier III (formerly Tier III Junior B) Metropolitan Junior Hockey League until 2016. The organization re-added a Tier III team in 2020 when it bought the New England Stars franchise in the North American 3 Hockey League (NA3HL). [2]

The team originated in Espanola, Ontario, and was initially called the Espanola Eagles.

The Titans won their first title in franchise history, winning the 2021–22 NAHL Robertson Cup National Championship. [3]
