Formation
The Hull Pirates were formed when the Hull Stingrays went into liquidation in June 2015. The Stingrays' place in the Elite Ice Hockey League was taken by Manchester Storm.
On Friday 3 July 2015, Shane Smith, a 43-year-old Rotherham-based businessman, held a press day at the Hull Arena to announce the formation of the Hull Pirates and that they had been accepted into the EPIHL.
It was also announced that former Hull Stingrays' forward Dominic Osman would become a player-coach and part-owner of Hull Pirates.
A Fans' Forum was held on 15 July 2015 with the unveiling of the club's logo. The Pirates had six weeks to put together a team in time for the upcoming league campaign.
In their first season as a club, Hull Pirates achieved a 9th-place finish in the EPIHL.
For the 2016/17 season, the Pirates have already announced the re-signings of forwards Nathan Salem and Lee Bonner as well as Jamie Chilcott and Jonathan Kirk, who both play in defence. Goalie Ashley Smith became the club's latest signing on 20 March 2016.
