History
The West Michigan Blizzard started their inaugural season in October 2009 as the
L.C. Walker Arena.[1]
Their name was changed to the West Michigan Blizzard.
In September 2010, the team announced their relocation to Dyer, Indiana due to the inability for a new ice arena to get built in Norton Shores. After the relocation, the team changed their name to the Indiana Blizzard.[2] Their new arena was at the Midwest Ice Center.[3][4] Despite their new home, the team ceased operations in 2011.
