The Outlaws were the FHL affiliate of the ECHL's Elmira Jackals.[2]

The Outlaws ceased operations on January 21, 2013 after the team owner refused to play the remaining road games.[3] The team was later rebranded as the Pennsylvania Blues on February 8, 2013 after the FHL took over control of the team and used the Blues as a traveling team to fill the schedule for the remainder of the season.
