In 2014 the team failed to make the playoffs, finishing sixth in the regular season, winning only two of their seven games. They then won their third title in the 2015, finishing second after the regular season, they went on to beat the NZ Development Squad 4–3 in the semi-final before going on to beat first place Mainland Pride in the final 3–4 away from home, denying their opponents a three-peat of competition titles.
