History

After establishing the team in December, 2018, the team then announced the hiring of David Solomon as head coach during that same month.[1]

The first player signed to the roster was Antonio Robinson, a 6'4" point guard who played collegiate basketball for East Carolina University, and had international experience as a professional in China and the UK.

The team's first game in franchise history was a scrimmage versus the Gastonia Snipers, a professional travel team, which the Wolves won 107–97.

The Wolves then opened up their first ECBL regular season on the road against division rival Rowan County Bulls with a win, 131–120.
