History
In 1995, the Continental Indoor Soccer League (CISL) awarded an expansion franchise to the Ackerly Group. The team, based in Seattle was named the SeaDogs.
The SeaDogs’ first two seasons were miserable as the team failed to break even. However, in 1997, they ran to a 21-7 regular season record, winning the league championship.
At the end of the 1997, the CISL folded. Several teams then jumped to various other indoor soccer league’s, but the SeaDogs elected to remain independent as its ownership explored various options. During this period, Clavijo resigned to take up the head coach position with the Florida ThunderCats of the National Professional Soccer League (NPSL).

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Systematic philosophical and practical anti-intellectualism such as we are witnessing appears to be something truly novel in the history of human culture.”
—Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
“Books of natural history aim commonly to be hasty schedules, or inventories of God’s property, by some clerk. They do not in the least teach the divine view of nature, but the popular view, or rather the popular method of studying nature, and make haste to conduct the persevering pupil only into that dilemma where the professors always dwell.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Postmodernism is, almost by definition, a transitional cusp of social, cultural, economic and ideological history when modernism’s high-minded principles and preoccupations have ceased to function, but before they have been replaced with a totally new system of values. It represents a moment of suspension before the batteries are recharged for the new millennium, an acknowledgment that preceding the future is a strange and hybrid interregnum that might be called the last gasp of the past.”
—Gilbert Adair, British author, critic. Sunday Times: Books (London, April 21, 1991)
