With a fourth place in the regular season they immediately reached the playoffs for the Taylor Cup in the 1995/96 season , in which they were defeated by the eventual champions San Diego Gulls in the best-of-five series with 2-3 wins. The following season ended the team from Alaska in sixth and thus penultimate place, which is why the playoffs were missed.
