The team was originally a member of the International Hockey League before it merged into the CHL. The team joined the IHL for the 2009-10 season.
On 18 May 2012 Dayton Gems have advised their fans via a message on their website that the team has in fact, ceased operations.

Fort Wayne Komets join the ECHL, Dayton Gems ceased
Current CHL champion Fort Wayne Komets announced that the franchise has withdrawn from the Central Hockey League and has been admitted as a member of the ECHL. The Fort Wayne membership will take flight with the 2012-13 ECHL season.
The Dayton Gems announced they were ceasing operations and that a new team playing in Federal Hockey League will be estabilished in Dayton.
Along with the move of Evansville from CHL to ECHL, these changes reflect the end of two-year agreement between the CHL and the defunct International Hockey League (IHL). Among the former IHL teams Bloomington Blaze and Quad City Mallards have signed long-term CHL agreements, while Dayton, Evansville and Fort Wayne are no longer affiliated with the CHL.
