History
Despite the uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic, the USPHL added the Provo Riverblades as an expansion franchise in the summer of 2020. The team began play in the Premier division and played three largely unsuccessful seasons. After their second year, the club was rebranded as the 'Provo Predators' and, one year later, they were promoted to the NCDC division along with five other western teams.Just as the Predators were able to find their stride, the franchise was sold. The team moved to Casper, Wyoming and became the Warbirds.
