The Ice spent two years playing exhibition matche] and researching prospects at the Olympic Ice Skating Centre in Oakleigh South, Victoria. Weber was named foundation chairman and president when the Ice were accepted into the AIHL in April 2002. The Ice joined the Australian Ice Hockey League as part of a three-team expansion of the league, along with Newcastle North Stars and Western Sydney Ice Dogs.
