Team history
The team relocated from Uncasville, Connecticut, where they were known as the New England Black Wolves. The Black Wolves themselves were a relocation of the Philadelphia Wings. This is also the second National Lacrosse League franchise in Albany after the Albany Attack, who played from 2000 to 2003 before relocating to San Jose, where they were known as the San Jose Stealth.
The team was officially named the FireWolves on April 14, 2021 after an online naming contest was held. The final three names considered were Attack, FireWolves and Black Arrows.[2] The team changed its original logo after hearing from Stony Brook University lawyers, who raised concerns about the original logo's similarity to the Stony Brook Seawolves logo.[3]
