The Watertown Shamrocks are a Tier II junior ice hockey team located in Watertown, South Dakota. The team began play in the fall of 2024, as the 7th in the NAHL's Central Division. The Shamrocks play out of the Prairie Lakes Ice Arena, a 1,500-seat venue that opened in February 2024.
History Shortly after the completion of the Prairie Lakes Ice Arena, the NAHL board of governors approved the addition of the Watertown Shamrocks as an expansion franchise. The team will be the second NAHL team located in South Dakota, after the Aberdeen Wings, with all other division foes being located in bordering states (Minnesota and North Dakota).
At their inaugural NAHL draft, the Shamrocks made Travis Lefere the team first round pick.
