History

Shortly after the completion of the Prairie Lakes Ice Arena, the NAHL board of governors approved the addition of the Watertown Shamrocks as an expansion franchise. [2] The team will be the second NAHL team located in South Dakota, after the Aberdeen Wings, with all other division foes being located in bordering stats (Iowa, Minnesota and North Dakota).

At their inaugural NAHL draft, the Shamrocks made Travis Lefere the team first round pick. [3]
