Columbus Capitals
August 18, 2013
The Columbus Capitals were a short-lived entry in the low-budget American Indoor Soccer Association. The league played out of minor league hockey arenas in the upper Midwest at the time. The Caps played at the Ohio Center and the Fairground Coliseum for two winter seasons from 1984 to 1986. Yugoslav-born forward Lesh Shkreli, a veteran of the American outdoor minor leagues, led the AISA in scoring during the inaugural 1984-85 season and was named the league’s Most Valuable Player.
