On June 26, 2015, Bill Dadds announced that he intended to relocate the Battalion from North Adams before the 2015-16 season after lease negotiations for the ice rink fell through. The city administration asked the team to only play a maximum of three Friday night games in next season and repay all current debts prior to any lease being signed by the city but Dadds decided that the demands were unreasonable.On July 15, he announced via his Facebook page that he was moving the team to Dayton, Ohio to replace the Dayton Demonz in Hara Arena. This was confirmed the next day when the Port Huron Prowlers, an expansion team, announced that it had acquired the Demonz's protected players. On July 25, Dadds announced at a press conference held at a local Buffalo Wild Wings that the new Dayton team would be called the Dayton Demolition.
On December 23, the Dayton Demolition announced that it had postponed its December 26 game against Danbury due to "scheduling issues" with Hara Arena. On December 28, the Demolition then announced that its new home arena would be South Metro Sports in nearby Centerville, Ohio.
Team is dormant for 2016-17 season
