History
Ice hockey was never really a popular sport in Huatancun up until the 21st Century. Huatancun only had one hockey team until 2017, which was the Merida Mayans of the North American Hockey League. Even the Merida Mayans had nearly all empty seats and were on the verge of relocating but stayed in Merida because of tradition. There was little demand for an ice hockey team in Huatancun up until the 21st Century, when it all of the sudden became a popular sport in Huatancun.

In 2015, Huatancun would get a national ice hockey team. Team Huatancun decided to build two new arenas in Cancun and Oaxaca, in hopes of bringing more NAHL teams to the nation.

In 2018, the NAHL relocated the underperforming Topeka Rangers to Oaxaca, as well as expand the league to Cancun.

In 2018, Team Huatancun played their first game against North Quebec, in front of a sold out crowd of 17,459 people in the Flightways Arena in Cancun. Team Huatancun won 2-1 in the second overtime.

Venues
Team Huatancun has two main venues. The largest arena in the country is the Flightways Arena in Cancun.
