History
On September 17, 2020, Newfoundland Growlers' majority owner Dean MacDonald (through his group Deacon Sports and Entertainment) came to an agreement with the city of Coralville to place an ECHL team in Xtream Arena, pending league approval, for the 2021–22 season.[1] On January 12, 2021, the team was approved by the ECHL Board of Governors to join the league for the 2021–22 season.[2] In March 2021, the team announced it had hired former ECHL commissioner Brian McKenna as team president.[3] The team name, Iowa Heartlanders, was announced on May 20, 2021.[4] On June 17, the Heartlanders announced they would be the affiliate of the Minnesota Wild.[5] On July 27, 2021, the Heartlanders named Gerry Fleming as their inaugural head coach.[6]
On October 22, 2021, the Heartlanders played their first game against the Kansas City Mavericks and won 7–4 at home with more than 4000 in attendance.[citation needed] In November, Kris Bennett was named the team's first captain, with Jake Linhart and Riese Zmolek given alternate captain roles.[citation needed]
