Toronto Rockets
April 18, 2014
The Toronto Rockets played one dispiriting season in the American Professional Soccer League during the summer of 1994. The Rockets placed last in the APSL standings table (5-15) and also ranked at the bottom of the league attendance charts. Unsurprisingly, the club did not return to the field in 1995.

Miami Freedom
November 9, 2013
The Miami Freedom soccer club was an undistinguished entry in the American Professional Soccer League from 1990 to 1992. At the time, the APSL represented the highest level of professional soccer in the United States, although it was a far cry from today’s Major League Soccer. The Freedom, playing in one of the nation’s most apathetic pro sports markets, averaged fewer than 1,000 fans per match in Miami’s 75,000-seat Orange Bowl during their first season in 1990.
