The Hammerheads were a particularly shaky entry in Roller Hockey International during the in-line skating league’s first two seasons. The team wobbled through two difficult seasons at Miami Arena and the West Palm Beach Auditorium before calling it a day at the end of the 1994 season.
This short-lived Arena Football League franchise was named after the Hooters restaurant chain. Owner Dave Lageschulte was one the early franchisees of the Hooters wings-and-boobs empire and developed the chain’s many South Florida restaurants. The team signed former Miami Dolphins stars Jim Jensen and Mark Duper and former U. of Miami Hurricanes notables Leonard Conley and Bryan Fortay in an effort to appeal to local fans.
