Member changes
- In July, 2012, the NAHL received an application for a new franchise in Laredo, Texas.[1] After receiving approval, the prospective club planned on being active by the start of this season. However, the club never materialized.
- In December 2012, The dormant New Mexico Mustangs franchise was purchased by the Minnesota Junior Hockey Group.[2] The club was moved to Richfield, Minnesota and became the Minnesota Magicians.
- On January 19, 2013, USA Hockey approved the transfer of the Wenatchee Wild from the NAHL to the British Columbia Hockey League for the 2013–14 season.[3] However, on May 14, 2013, the Wild announced they would instead relocate the franchise to Hidalgo, Texas and play as the Rio Grande Valley Killer Bees of the NAHL.[4] Eight days later, the Wenatchee City Council approved a deal to purchase the Fresno Monsters franchise and relocate it to Wenatchee, assuming the Wild's name.[5]
- In mid-February, the Kalamazoo Jr. K-Wings announced that they would be folding at the end of the season.[6] The team attempted to sell the franchise rights but ended up dissolving when no prospective buyer surfaced.
- On May 10, 2013, the Minnesota Wilderness, an active junior team from the Superior International Junior Hockey League (SIJHL), were granted permission to join the NAHL.[7] As part of the arrangement, the team purchased the franchise rights from the dormant St. Louis Bandits who had last played in 2012.
- Around the same time, the Jamestown Ironmen decided to suspend operations and released all of their players from their contracts.[8]
- In July, the Texas Tornado was sold to Texas Hockey Partners (THP). The franchise was relocated to North Richland Hills, Texas and became the Lone Star Brahmas.[9]
