The Pensacola Flyers were an American professional indoor soccer team based in Pensacola , Florida . They played their home games in the Pensacola Civic Center . They were members of the Eastern Indoor Soccer League and played only during the 1998 season.[2] During the 1997 season, the team played at the Tupelo Coliseum in Tupelo , Mississippi , as the Tupelo Hound Dogs then relocated to Pensacola during the offseason.[3] [1] [4] [5] [6] [7]
During their existence, the Flyers/Hound Dogs played a total of 52 games, winning 22, including one via shootout, and losing 30, including one via shootout. They scored a total of 675 goals and allowed a total of 732 goals and notched 66 total standings points out of a possible 156 points.[6] (The EISL awarded 3 points for a win, 2 for a shootout win, 1 for a shootout loss, and 0 for a loss in regulation.)
The team suspended operations after the 1998 season, as did the Huntsville Fire , ultimately leading to the official collapse of the league in December 1998.[8] [9]
