The Henderson Force are a junior ice hockey team in the United States Premier Hockey League (USPHL). The Force play their home games at America First Center in Henderson, Nevada, in the Las Vegas Valley.
History
In June 2023, three local Las Vegas entrepreneurs — Joe Micatrotto, Marco Benvenuti and Allan Creel — purchased the Las Vegas Thunderbirds from Adam Bonaldi and Corey St. Germain. The team relocated to Henderson from Summerlin South, Nevada, for the 2024–25 season, and were rebranded as the Force. Following the 2025-26 season the Henderson Force leadership determined it was in their best interest to withdraw from the USPHL Premier League and seek out alternative opportunities.
