After the Memphis South Stars folded in 1969, the Minnesota North Stars reached an agreement with the Waterloo Black Hawks to have them become Minnesota's primary affiliate for one season. The team was renamed as the 'Iowa Stars' and played in the Central Hockey League for the season. After the year, the franchise returned to the United States Hockey League as the Black Hawks while the North Stars moved their affiliation elsewhere. They Stars played their home games at The Hippodrome in Waterloo, Iowa.
