Switching leagues and exclusion
On July 9, 2024, the Tritons, along with several others teams from the AIF, announced their intentions to play in the National Arena League. On October 7, 2024, the Tritons announced that defense coordinator Johnny Anderson would become their new head coach and the second in team history just three days after they parted ways with coach Bradly Chavez. On October 14, 2024, the Tritons announced on their Facebook page that they were left out of the 2025 NAL schedule as they were set to join the league for that season. The team expressed frustration with the league's decision to not include them in the schedule and were seeking different avenues to play in the 2025 campaign[8]
