The Flyers IHC and Latvian Hawks are also based in Dublin. Their Club President, Cliff Saunders, is also the President of the Irish Ice Hockey Association. In addition, the Rams have a B team in the IIHL Development Division.
In the 2007-08 season the Rams finished with 11 wins, 1 overtime loss, and 4 losses, and were positioned in 2nd place in the IIHL with 34 points. The Rams were the only team during the regular season to defeat the Dundalk Bulls when they did so on February 16th, 2008. The Dublin Rams went on to defeat the Flyers IHC in the IIHL semi finals by a score of 4-1. In the final, the Rams lost to the Dundalk Bulls by a score of 6-3 in a well-fought game. At the end of the season Aaron Cuskeran was voted most outstanding player of the squad as well as the most popular with his peers .
