The franchise was founded in Florence , South Carolina in 2005 to represent the Pee Dee region under the name Pee Dee Cyclones in the operations of the Southern Professional Hockey League . The team initially played their home games in the Florence Civic Center , which holds 7,426 spectators . In its inaugural season, the team finished sixth out of seven teams in the regular season . This meant participation in the play-offs , but there the Cyclones failed in the first round at the Knoxville Ice Bears . In the 2006/07 season, the franchise missed the finals with seventh and last place. Since no new contract with the Civic Center could be concluded, the team moved to Winston-Salem , North Carolina , where they continued to play as the Twin City Cyclones .

After the Cyclones had only occupied last place in the following season, the team owners decided on March 31, 2009 to dissolve the team in view of the international financial crisis .
