Hockey

Xfinity Arena is the home of the Everett Silvertips, a Western Hockey League franchise. In their first season (2003–04) the Everett Silvertips were led by former NHL Head Coach Kevin Constantine to win the WHL Western Conference Championship.

Indoor football

In 2012, Xfinity Arena was the home of the now-defunct Everett Raptors of the Indoor Football League.

Lacrosse

In 2010, Xfinity Arena became home to the Washington Stealth of the National Lacrosse League. The franchise was previously known as the San Jose Stealth, and before that the Albany Attack. [1] The National Lacrosse League announced on June 27, 2013 that the Washington Stealth would relocate for the upcoming season. The team would preserve its nickname in the move. Further details were to be announced at a press conference on July 2, 2013.[11]

Banked track roller derby

Xfinity Arena is also home to the Tilted Thunder Rail Birds, a Seattle-based, all-female, banked track roller derby league. [2]

Previous tenants

The arena was also home to the International Basketball League's Everett Explosion for one season in 2007 before they moved to Monroe and were renamed the Snohomish County Explosion, where they played until 2010. Xfinity Arena also hosted arena football for three years (2005–07). The Everett Hawks were a primary football tenant in the arena for the NIFL in their first season at Everett, going undefeated at 14-0, but lost in the playoff semifinal to the Tri-Cities Fever. The team switched to af2 in 2006 and became a minor-league team where they didn't find much success, which led to their folding in 2007.[citation needed]
