On January 7, 2025, the FPHL announced that it would be hosting four neutral-site games in Topeka later that month and into February to attract interest in the community for a future expansion team. Said games featured theDanville Dashers playing as the Topeka Scarecrows and thePort Huron Prowlers playing as the Topeka Roadrunners, paying tribute to the city's previous teams.[1] Because of the success of these four games, averaging over 3,200 fans per game, the FPHL announced on February 13 that Topeka was officially granted an expansion team for the 2025–26 season.[2][3]

A name-the-team contest was held to determine the teams name, with the final five options being the Scarecrows, Tornados, Wizards, Roadrunners and Capitals.[4] On May 5, the team officially announced that they would be known as the Topeka Scarecrows,[5] withRobbie Nichols announced as the team's inaugural head coach[6] and veteran defensemanJustin Schmit as their first signing.[7][8][9]
