History
The Perth Pelicans were introduced to the Australian Junior Ice Hockey League in 2013 following the announcement by Ice Hockey Australia of the formation of the Australian Junior Ice Hockey League.[1] The team is controlled by the Victorian Ice Hockey Association.[1] On 14 October 2012 it was announced that Warren Porter had signed on as coach for the 2012–13 AJIHL season with Michael Flaherty as his assistant.[2]
2013 - 2014
The follow up season in the Australian Junior Ice Hockey League saw a lot of change via expansion and renaming of its existing teams.[3] The changes were made in response to the National Hockey Leagues concern about the AJIHL using their team names and logos but also recognised the opportunity to create a new history for the teams through creating their own identity.In October 2013 the league expanded to six teams with two teams from Perth, the Sharks and the Pelicans, joining for the start of the 2013–14 season.[4]
