The Chicago Cheetahs of Roller Hockey International were a short-lived in-line skating promotion that tried without much success to find an audience in the Windy City during the mid-1990’s. Former Black Hawks tough guy Al Secord skated for the Cheetahs during the 1994 season following a four-year retirement from the NHL.
The Chicago Shoccers were an indoor soccer team that played two seasons in the American Indoor Soccer Association between 1985 and 1987. Chicago had two pro indoor teams at the time. The popularity of the Chicago Sting of the Major Indoor Soccer League had dipped from the team’s early 80’s peak, when they were virtually unbeatable at Chicago Stadium. But they were still in existence and vastly overshadowed the Shoccers, who were essentially a minor league club playing in second rate venues.
