Background

Very obscure Box Lacrosse entry that lasted for only one season in the centrally-owned Major Indoor Lacrosse League. Notable primarily for losing every game they ever played.

The MILL added the Charlotte Cobras as an expansion franchise in 1996. The Cobras were badly over-matched from the outset.  They finished the season 0-10. Opponents outscored them 186-85 for an average deficit of more than 10 goals per game.

In August 1996 the league decided to shut down the Cobras rather than bring them back for a second season.
