The Berlin River Drivers are a minor professional ice hockey team in the Federal Hockey League set to begin play for its 2015–16 season. Based in Berlin, New Hampshire, the River Drivers will play their home games at the Notre Dame Arena.

History

On July 14, 2014, the FHL announced the River Drivers as a new franchise.[1] However, on September 8, 2014, the league announced that the league would expand instead into North Adams, Massachusetts (with the Berkshire Battalion), citing the market to be a better fit but not ruling out Berlin and the River Drivers' return for the 2015–16 season.[2]

The following offseason, on May 20, 2015, the FHL announced the River Drivers would begin play in the 2015–16 season at the newly renovated Notre Dame Arena.[3]

They initially announced an affiliation with the Evansville IceMen of the ECHL for the 2015–16 season,[4] however, sometime before the season began the post and all references to the IceMen had been removed from the website.
