The Baltimore Civic Center was sold out and rocking. Kool and the Gang singing “Celebration” after every goal. Showdowns with the NY Arrows and the Cleveland Force

Showdowns with the NY Arrows and the Cleveland Force MISL was a fun League-what it lacked in quality it made up for in atmosphere. The Sockers won the league more than not -but no one seemed to notice. Good times! |

Hell yeah. I attended a TON of Cleveland Force games at Richfield Coliseum. Best friend’s dad had a 8-10 season tickets for several years and I tagged along frequently. Kai Haaskivi was my favorite player. Fun league to watch. Punishing old school Astroturf over concrete (or ice in some places) probably created a lot of arthritic alumni.

Yeah, the “pitch” was brutal-lots of carpet burn, bruises and sprains. |

I remember teams being down a goal and pulling to keeper for an extra attacker at the end (hockey style) and occasionally a GK would throw the ball full length of the field into an empty net. Good times.

Learned something I did not know:
“MISL inspires Arena Football Edit
The concept was initially so popular that in 1981, it helped pave the way for the creation of another indoor sports league, the Arena Football League, and subsequently the entire sport of indoor "gridiron" football. During the MISL All-Star Game at Madison Square Garden, National Football League promotions director Jim Foster sketched a design of what a football field would look like on the back of a 9x12 manila envelope.[2] That inspiration gave birth to the concept now known as arena football (also indoor football) and the AFL was born six years later. Foster credits the MISL for the inspiration.[1][3][4]”

Good times. I remember they called the leader in assists the “Pass Master.” Not sure if they had a “golden boot” or just a scoring champion. |

It was definitely a nickname the Cleveland fans gave him while he played as well. Regardless, the guy scored some ridiculous goals. That league was so much fun. Edit: damn. He only lived to 39 Edit 2: thanks for that link. Cool highlight videos. |
