Together with the daily newspaper "The Examiner" from Independence, the team owners of Independence Professional Hockey, LLC organized a competition to find the new team name, which lasted until May 11th, 2009. The name Missouri Mavericks , which emerged from this competition, was finally introduced along with the logo and the club colors on June 24, 2009.

As the first coach in their franchise history, the Mavericks signed Scott Hillman , who won the Southern Professional Hockey League championship twice with the Knoxville Ice Bears . Brent Thiessen received the post of General Manager .

On October 7, 2014, the Mavericks and the other six remaining CHL participants were inducted into the ECHL . The CHL's game operations were discontinued due to fewer teams. The team continued to play in Independence until the summer of 2017, when the team was relocated to Kansas City within the state .
