The organization was founded by Hal "Butch" and Mary Kay Wolfe as a member of the Metro Detroit Junior Hockey League, a Junior B league sanctioned by USA Hockey, beginning with the 1989–90 season. The Metro Jets played their first season at Inkster Ice Arena in Inkster, Michigan, and then the next 25 seasons at Lakeland Arena in Waterford Township, Michigan.[3] The Metro Detroit Junior Hockey League rebranded back to Central States Hockey League (CSHL) in 1994 and then moved up to Tier III Junior A in 2007. In 2010, the CSHL was rebranded as the North American 3 Hockey League (NA3HL).
In 2015, the Metro Jets were sold to Peter Cammick and began playing at Fraser Hockeyland in Fraser, Michigan.[3] The Jets left the NA3HL in 2018 for the Premier Division of the United States Premier Hockey League.[4] The Jets also added their development team to the USPHL Premier after the Lake Erie Bighorns withdrew prior to the 2018–19 season.
In 2021, the organization moved to Mount Clemens, Michigan, to play out of the Mount Clemens Ice Arena and added Professional Broadcaster, Matt Prieur to serve as the Voice of the Metro Jets Hockey Club.[5]
2022 is the 34th year of operation for the Metro Jets Hockey Club and Fifth year of operation for MJDP (Metro Jets Development Program)
