The New Jersey Stallions are a long-time youth club soccer program operating out of Clifton, New Jersey. But during the late 1990’s and early 2000’s the organization also operated men’s – and, briefly, women’s – pro & amateur teams in the United Soccer Leagues. The Stallions debuted in 1996 and the Lady Stallions women’s club joined the USL in 2003. Following the 2004 season, the Stallions shuttered both their men’s and women’s USL adult clubs.
This 1964-65 New York Rangers farm club in the Eastern Hockey League was the last of several versions of the New York Rovers ice hockey team. Like the original Rovers, who started out back in 1935 as a senior amateur club in the Eastern Amateur Hockey League and played until 1952, the 1964-65 Rovers traditionally played Sunday afternoon matinees at Madison Square Garden. The team disbanded only one season.
New York United were a men’s 2nd Division soccer club that played in the American Soccer League in 1980 and 1981.

New ownership bought the team in 1980 and tried to make a splash by signing former Manchester City star Rodney Marsh as Manager and moving into Shea Stadium in Queens. United moved to Downing Stadium on Randall’s Island for their final season in 1981.

The Watertown Indians franchise represented a second chance at Minor League Baseball for the small (pop. 29,000) upstate New York community of Watertown during the winter of the 1988-89. Early that year the city lost its previous New York-Penn League franchise, the Watertown Pirates, when that club’s absentee owners moved the team to Welland, Ontario. A group of local investors successfully appealed to New York-Penn League officials for a new franchise when the league expanded from 12 to 14 clubs that winter. The Indians stayed for ten summers, winning a New York-Penn League title in 1995, before moving to Staten Island in 1999.
