From 2007 to 2016, it was also home to the Missoula Maulers junior hockey team before the team owner and MAYHA had a contract dispute and the team was shut down.[1] The Maulers' owner Michael Burks had installed all the bleachers at the ice rink with his own funding, so after failing to negotiate a new contract, he removed the bleachers, forcing Glacier Ice Rink to raise funds for replacement seating.[2]

The Maulers were quickly replaced with an expansion team in the North American 3 Hockey League named the Missoula Jr. Bruins with new owners Jason and Liz DiMatteo.[3]
