A year later, Monroe failed in the first playoff round at the Arkansas GlacierCats.

When the WPHL was dissolved following the 2000/01 season, the Monroe Moccasins were one of only four teams that did not move to the Central Hockey League , but instead was dissolved. The main reason for this step, however, was not the end of the WPHL, but the steadily falling audience average and the associated financial losses for the owners of the franchise.
