A Letter to the Fans

Mar 18, 2026

Dear Bulls Fans,

After careful consideration, the North Iowa Bulls franchise has decided to relocate its NAHL franchise to the Houston area (Richmond, Texas) following the conclusion of the 2025–26 season.

Junior hockey will continue in Mason City. The NA3HL Mason City Toros will remain in the community and will be rebranded as the North Iowa Bulls beginning with the 2026–27 season, continuing the organization’s presence and commitment to the North Iowa hockey community.

We are incredibly grateful for the support from our billets, sponsors, fans, the City of Mason City, and Mason City Youth Hockey. Your dedication has allowed us to successfully operate two teams in this market and build a successful junior hockey program.

While this was not an easy decision, we believe focusing on one team in Mason City will allow us to continue building on the proud tradition of our NA3HL program, which includes four national championships and numerous players advancing to college hockey.

Information regarding 2026–27 season ticket packages will be released shortly.

In the meantime, tickets for the NAHL Bulls’ remaining home games as the team works to secure a playoff appearance are available at northiowabulls.com.

Thank you for your continued support of Bulls hockey.
