The Amarillo Bulls released the following statement: We would like to thank, first of all, the fans in Mason City. Without their support, enthusiasm and record-breaking attendance, this would not be possible. The North Iowa Bulls organization is also grateful to City officials and the Mason City Youth Hockey Association for making it possible for our team to call "home" this special community and its world-class arena. We can't wait to compete in the NAHL Central Division next season.
Since 2011, the NA3HL's North Iowa Bulls of Mason City, Iowa, have established a winning tradition, a reputation for a rabid, loyal fan base and supportive city officials and sponsors.
