2030s

2037–2039

The Honolulu Hahalua were founded after the historic Season 22 DSFL Draft that saw the league get over two-hundred new recruits. Their founding general manager Gregward Graves used their first selection and the second overall selection of the expansion draft to select linebacker Mack Arianlacher as the first pick of the team. They traded back from the first overall selection that they were given in the Season 22 ISFL Draft, and ended up selecting Momona Keiki-Kāne with their first pick and the seventh pick overall; a pick that would be the first of many as they led the league in selections with 41 total. After that the team was also able to acquire pro bowlers Keʻokeʻo Kāne-Maikaʻi and Shawn Dawkins during the draft. Along with future defensive performance of the year award winner Jim Waters.

The 2037 (S22) season got off to a rough start for the Honolulu Hahalua as they went just 1-3 over their first four games, although that was not an unexpected result for the expansion franchise. They improved over the middle of the season by going 2-3 including a road win against the eventual Ultimus Bowl XXII winners the Colorado Yeti. After that the last stretch of the season was as rough as the start as they went just 1-3 to close out the season. Their final record of 4-9 left them last in their conference and kept them out of the playoffs.

Thus the 2038 (S23) season got off to a similar start to their previous season as they went just 1-4 over the first five weeks of the season thanks to a huge home win over their conference rivals the San Jose Sabercats 35-7 in week three. Their interconference games went far better as the team went 3-3 over the middle six games of the season. Upward trends continued through the last games of the season as Honolulu won 40-3 against the Austin Copperheads in week twelve en route to a 3-2 close to the season. While their 7-9 record was comfortably an improvement; it still only saw them to fifth in their conference and another season without a playoff berth.

The 2039 (S24) season should have been the beginning of a turnaround for the Hahalua. They opened the first five weeks of the season going 3-2, including a victory against the San Jose Sabercats in Week 3. The remainder of the season would see Honolulu win one only to lose the week after. This was reflected in a 5-5 Conference record and an 8-8 record over the duration of the season. A one game improvement on the previous season kept them in fifth in their conference and maintained their status as perennial playoff outsiders. Should one more game have fell their way they would have experienced their first playoff game as the remainder of the conference saw playoff games all with 9-7 records, including the eventual victors San Jose.

2040s

2040–2044

The 2040 season was a roller coaster for most players on Honolulu's roster. Their season started off with a 35-23 loss to the Copperheads and then a blowout win of 55-27 against the New Orleans Second Line. With a 1-1 record going into week three, Honolulu looked like a pretty good team. Throughout the rest of the year, Honolulu would be sub-par to most opponents and they weren't very streaky in a good or bad way. At the end of the season their biggest streaks were both two wins and two losses. They finished 8-8, which slotted them fourth best in the ASFC, missing the playoffs by one game.

Honolulu had their worst recorded season in franchise history in 2041, where they would finish 3-13, tied for the worst record in a single season by any team in ISFL history. Their only wins would come in weeks seven, thirteen, and fifteen, against the New York Silverbacks, Orange County Otters, and the San Jose Sabercats respectively. One thing that lead to their downfall was a lack of the run game where they only racked up 1,805 rushing yards as a team with a 3.8 yards per carry and only 12 touchdowns. One of the worst rushing seasons by a team in a long time.

After their demonstration of how bad a team could be, Honolulu bounced back and had a first place season in 2042. They would finish with 11 wins, 4 losses and a tie. They would finish with the best record in the ASFC for the first time in franchise history. This was also the biggest turnaround season in ISFL history when they had a +8.5 more wins then the season before. Though it was a good season, they had their first Ultimus stripped from them in the Conference Championship by the New Orleans Second Line in tough 24-15 loss. The Second Line would go on to loss the Ultimus to the Sarasota Sailfish.

To describe the 2043 season as an up and down year is an understatement. They began the year 3-0, with wins against Arizona, New Orleans, and San Jose, but they would then loss their next four straight, before winning in week eight to the Liberty and then going on another losing streak of three games. They would end the season on a five game win streak, including a two-point win against Orange County in week sixteen. Honolulu finished 9-7 and missed the playoffs with a fourth place finish.
