In its first season, the team immediately reached third in WCHL North Division the playoffs for the Taylor Cup, in which they were subject, however, already in the first round of the Anchorage Aces in the best- of-three series with 1:2 victories. In the following two seasons, the Gold Kings silently failed in each case only in the second playoff round at the Tacoma Sabercats and Idaho Steelheads. Following the 2001/ 02 season, the leaders withdrew the team from the game operation of the WCHL and solved the franchise on.
