The '''Lansing Wolves''' were a [[Junior ice hockey|junior]] [[ice hockey]] team a member of the [[United States Premier Hockey League]] (USPHL) as part of the Premier Division. The team played its home games at the Summit Sports and Ice Complex in [[Dimondale, Michigan]], a suburb of [[Lansing, Michigan|Lansing]]. The franchise was previously a member of the [[North American 3 Hockey League]] (NA3HL) from 2010 to 2018 as the '''Battle Creek Jr. Revolution''' and the '''West Michigan Wolves'''.

== History ==
The team began as the Battle Creek Jr. Revolution in 2010 joining the independent [[Northern Junior Hockey League]] (NJHL) for the 2010–11 season. In August 2010, with rumors of the league folding, the Jr. Revolution left the NJHL and joined the [[USA Hockey]]-sanctioned [[Junior ice hockey#Tier III|Tier III]] [[Central States Hockey League]]. The Jr. Revolution replaced the [[Grand Rapids Owls]], who suspended operations, as the 12th team in the [[Central States Hockey League]]. In November 2010, the CSHL changed its name to the [[North American 3 Hockey League]] after the Tier II [[North American Hockey League]] took over operations of the CSHL.

The team ownership was initially the Revolution Advertising LLC.<ref>http://www.bcjrrevolutionhockey.com/contact.html{{Dead link|date=February 2020 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> until acquired by Dr. Joseph Burkhardt in 2014. On April 1, 2014, the team re-branded itself as the West Michigan Wolves.<ref>{{cite news|work=West Michigan Wolves|url=http://westmichiganwolves.pointstreaksites.com/view/westmichiganwolves/news-1437/news_149579|title=West Michigan Wolves Era In NA3HL To Begin in 2014-15|date=April 1, 2014|accessdate=May 31, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140517163624/http://westmichiganwolves.pointstreaksites.com/view/westmichiganwolves/news-1437/news_149579|archive-date=May 17, 2014|url-status=dead}}</ref>
