History

For their inaugural season, the Warriors played in the American Professional Football League, finishing at the bottom of the league standings at 0–8.

Beginning in 2013, the Warriors were scheduled to play in the Indoor Football League.[1] The Warriors were expected to form strong rivalries with fellow I-25 team the Colorado Ice as well as their in-state rivals from Casper the Wyoming Cavalry.[2] On January 21, 2013, the IFL announced that the team would not be entering the league as planned due to the late December 2012 death of the team's owner.[3][4]

In January 2013 the Warriors announced that they were forming a new league, the Developmental Indoor Football League. The team played several games in the DIFL before folding in late May 2013, citing financial issues.[5][6]
