The Cleveland Crunch is an American professional indoor soccer club located in Cleveland, Ohio.

Key Information

Formed in 1989 as an expansion team in the Major Indoor Soccer League (MISL), the Crunch played a total of 16 seasons in three separate leagues under two different names. The team played three seasons in the original MISL, later known as the Major Soccer League (MSL), before joining the rival National Professional Soccer League (NPSL) in 1992. After nine seasons in the NPSL (including winning three league titles - 1994, 1996, 1999), the team joined a second incarnation of the Major Indoor Soccer League (MISL) in 2001. In 2002, the team was rebranded the Cleveland Force in honor of the former team of the same name. After four seasons in the second MISL, the team folded in 2005.

The Cleveland Crunch franchise was revived in 2020.[1] The team joined Major Arena Soccer League 2 (MASL 2) for the 2021 season (winning the MASL 2 championship) and then joined Major League Indoor Soccer (MLIS) for its 2023 season, winning the MLIS Championship in 2024. All totaled, the Crunch recognizes all five championships won under the various incarnations of the franchise (three NPSL, one MASL 2, one MLIS).[2]

History

[edit]

Founding of the Cleveland Crunch

[edit]

The original Cleveland Force team had folded on July 22, 1988. Akron businessmen George S. Hoffman and Stuart Lichter formed an ownership group; named Al Miller general manager; and named former Force star Kai Haaskivi player-coach. Miller and Haaskivi brought back many players who had been fan favorites during the Force's height of popularity in the mid-1980s. The Crunch's home arena was originally the Richfield Coliseum.

Near the end of the Crunch's first season, Miller engineered a trade that would help Cleveland make the championship finals in seven of the next 10 years. He sent veteran forward Paul Wright to the San Diego Sockers for Zoran Karic, a feisty forward who immediately hit it off with Cleveland star Hector Marinaro. Within weeks, they were dubbed the "Dynamic Duo" and together rewrote the scoring record books for the next decade.

Move to NPSL and Three Championships

[edit]

In 1992 the Crunch joined the National Professional Soccer League (NPSL) where it made a name for itself as a dominating soccer club, winning three championships in five seasons.[3]

When the original MISL ceased operation in the summer of 1992, the Crunch, Baltimore and Wichita joined the rival NPSL as "expansion teams". All were permitted to keep only six players, then fill the rest of their rosters in an expansion draft of players made available by other NPSL teams.

The NPSL, in an effort to promote the sport in the United States, had a cap of two non-Americans allowed on a roster. Canadian-born Marinaro and Serbia native Karic filled that quota immediately. Besides Marinaro and Karic, holdovers from the MISL Crunch were midfielders Tommy Tanner and Andy Schmetzer, defender George Fernandez and young goalkeeper Otto Orf.

Orf had only a 14–32 record the previous three years with the club as backup to P.J. Johns. Before switching leagues, Miller had signed four-time NPSL goalkeeper of the year Jamie Swanner from the Canton Invaders. That contract was voided when the Crunch entered the NPSL. Swanner and several ex-Invaders signed as free agents with another expansion team, the Buffalo Blizzard. New Crunch coach Gary Hindley wanted Orf as his starter, citing the big keeper's strong throwing arm as an offensive weapon. He wanted Orf getting the ball to Marinaro and Karic with outlet passes at the team's new home, the CSU Convocation Center, where the playing surface was considerably smaller than at the Richfield Coliseum.

Orf became a 25-game winner, Marinaro and Karic shattered all scoring records, and Cleveland advanced to the league finals, where it lost to the Kansas City Attack, three games to two.

A year later, the Crunch finally broke through to win Cleveland's first championship in any pro sport in 30 years.[4] Marinaro scored the dramatic game-winner in double overtime as Cleveland overcame a 15–10 deficit to defeat the visiting St. Louis Ambush, 17–15, to take the series, three games to one.[5] The team went on to win two more championships, in the 1995–96 and 1998-99 seasons.

Lichter faded from view when the MISL folded and Hoffman became even more active as owner during the Crunch's almost yearly run to the finals. Hoffman eventually sold his interest to a Cleveland group headed by Richard Dietrich. Soon after, the NPSL reorganized itself as the new Major Indoor Soccer League in 2001. The team took on the old Cleveland Force name in 2002.[6]

Franchise revival

[edit]

In 2020, a new ownership group announced it was reviving the Cleveland Crunch brand, after the team's 18-year hiatus, and returning professional indoor soccer to Cleveland.[7]

The team joined the Major Arena Soccer League 2 (MASL 2) for the 2021 season. In its first season back, the team earned the Cleveland Crunch's fourth league title, defeating the Wichita Wings 11-6 to win the MASL 2 Championship.

In 2023, the team moved to Major League Indoor Soccer (MLIS)[8] winning the MLIS Championship in 2024, and giving the franchise its overall fifth title (from three different leagues) in team history.[9]

Cleveland Crunch

View on Grokipedia
from Grokipedia
The Cleveland Crunch is a professional franchise based in Cleveland, Ohio, originally established on February 22, 1989, as an expansion team in the Major League (MISL) to replace the city's previous team, the Cleveland Force. The team achieved significant success in the 1990s after transitioning to the National Professional Soccer League (NPSL) following the MISL's dissolution in 1992, capturing three NPSL championships in the 1993–94, 1995–96, and 1999 seasons, along with six conference titles and five division championships between 1992 and 2000. Key figures during this era included all-time NPSL scoring leader and six-time MVP Hector Marinaro, assists leader Zoran Karic (1993 MVP), and players such as Andy Schmetzer, Tommy Tanner, and Otto Orf, who contributed to the team's dynasty-like dominance. The franchise was rebranded as the Cleveland Force in 2002 amid league reorganizations and ceased operations under the Crunch name until its revival in 2020. The revived Crunch joined (MASL 2) for the 2021 season, promptly winning the league championship with an 11–6 victory over the in the final. After competing in MASL 2 for its first two revived seasons, it transitioned to the Major League (MLIS) for the 2022–23 season onward, securing its fifth overall title in the 2023–24 season by defeating the Omaha Kings 9–4 in the championship game. As of 2025, the Crunch competes in the MLIS, playing its home matches at the , and has announced a 12-game 2025–26 regular season schedule starting December 6, 2025, with season tickets available for fans. The team streams all home games on the Rock Entertainment Sports Network and recognizes its full legacy of five championships across its various league affiliations.

History

Inception and early years (1989–1992)

The Cleveland Crunch was established in 1989 as an expansion franchise in the Major Indoor Soccer League (MISL), replacing the recently defunct Cleveland after Akron stockbroker George Hoffman and real estate developer Stuart Lechter organized the team when negotiations to purchase the Force fell through. The franchise debuted on February 22, 1989, entering a league that had contracted amid declining popularity and financial strains across . The MISL at the time consisted of eight teams competing in a fast-paced format with six players per side on a hockey-sized rink, emphasizing high-scoring games through rules like unlimited substitutions and a four-line penalty system. The Crunch played its initial seasons at the , a 20,000-seat arena in suburban , positioning the team within Cleveland's established sports ecosystem that included the NBA's Cavaliers and MLB's Indians. Kai Haaskivi, a former with the , was appointed player-coach for the inaugural 1989–90 campaign, bringing experience from his prior indoor and outdoor career to help build the roster. The team struggled in its debut year, posting a 20–32 record and missing the playoffs in a season marked by defensive inconsistencies and adjustment to the league's intensity. Attendance averaged approximately 5,500 fans per home game, reflecting the challenges of reintroducing indoor soccer to a market still mourning the 's departure. Improvement came in the 1990–91 season, where the Crunch achieved a 29–23 record but fell to the Sockers in the first round of the . Home crowds grew modestly to an average of approximately 4,640 across 26 games at the Coliseum, providing some financial stability despite ongoing league-wide issues like rising operational costs and uneven gate receipts. The following year, 1991–92, saw another competitive effort with a 20–20 regular-season mark, securing a berth amid notable matchups that highlighted emerging talents on the roster. Home attendance averaged 7,056 across 20 games. However, persistent financial pressures in the shrinking MISL, including low overall league attendance and sponsor hesitancy, foreshadowed instability, with average crowds for the Crunch hovering between 5,000 and 7,000—far below the peaks of earlier eras. These early years underscored the Crunch's role in sustaining Cleveland's winter sports options, though the franchise faced hurdles from the MISL's decline, culminating in the league's dissolution in July 1992.

NPSL era (1992–2001)

The Cleveland Crunch transitioned to the National Professional Soccer League (NPSL) in 1992 after the Major Indoor Soccer League (MISL) folded that summer, marking a significant shift in the landscape of professional indoor soccer. The NPSL had originated as the American Indoor Soccer League (AISL) in 1990 before rebranding for the 1991–92 season, and it absorbed several prominent MISL franchises, including the Crunch, to bolster its roster of teams. This move effectively consolidated the top tier of indoor soccer, with the Crunch joining under owner George Hoffman, who accepted an invitation to the lower-budget league despite initial reservations about its financial constraints. Adapting to the NPSL required substantial adjustments for the Crunch, particularly to the league's distinctive four-player format on a hockey-sized rink, which emphasized fast-paced play and high scoring through a zoned system: three points for shots originating from the team's defensive half, two points for shots from the offensive half outside the crease, and one point for crease shots. Unlike the MISL's six-on-six style with traditional one-goal scoring, this system produced football-like totals, such as 16–10 or 24–17, and demanded a more offensive-oriented strategy. The Crunch faced strict entry conditions, retaining only six players from their MISL roster and adhering to salary limits, but under new head coach Gary Hindley—who replaced Trevor Dawkins—they quickly embraced the changes, finishing their debut NPSL season at 25–15 and reaching the playoffs. The team's rise was anchored by standout performers who thrived in the NPSL's dynamic environment. Forward Hector Marinaro emerged as the league's premier scorer, amassing a record 1,223 goals over his career and earning six MVP awards, while his chemistry with Zoran Karic— the NPSL's all-time assist leader with 104 in one season—created a potent offensive duo that dominated games. Otto Orf provided crucial stability in net, contributing to the Crunch's defensive resilience amid the high-scoring format. Hindley's coaching tenure from 1992 to 1995 instilled a disciplined approach, blending veteran leadership with emerging talent to build a cohesive unit. Over the nine NPSL seasons from 1992–93 to 2000–01, the Crunch established themselves as a powerhouse, compiling strong regular-season marks such as 25–15 in their inaugural year and 23–17 in 1993–94, en route to five division titles and six conference championships. Their consistency peaked with attendance figures that reflected growing fan enthusiasm, averaging around 6,290 per game but surging beyond 12,000 for key matchups at the 20,000-seat , where electric atmospheres fueled playoff runs. This success culminated in NPSL championships in 1994, 1996, and 1999, milestones that solidified the team's legacy without overshadowing their broader dominance. The era's dynasty was cultivated through a robust team culture emphasizing relentless work ethic and mutual support, as evidenced by the long tenures of core players like Marinaro and Karic, who embodied loyalty and excellence. Intense rivalries, notably with the nearby Buffalo Blizzard, added edge to divisional clashes, heightening stakes in the American Division and drawing larger crowds for heated encounters. In December 1999, amid this pinnacle of achievement, sold the franchise for $1.75 million to a new ownership group including Michael Gibbons, Richard Dietrich, Paul Garofalo, and Gary Zdolshek, who had secured an option in 1998 and aimed to sustain the momentum heading into the 2000–01 season, where the team finished 24–16. This transition closed a transformative chapter, leaving the Crunch as the NPSL's most decorated club of the decade.

Rebranding and folding (2001–2005)

Following the dissolution of the National Professional Soccer League (NPSL) in 2001, the Cleveland Crunch transitioned to the newly formed Major Indoor Soccer League (MISL), marking the start of a challenging period for the franchise. In the 2001–02 season, under head coach Mike Pilger, the team struggled with a record of 16 wins and 28 losses, finishing last in the Eastern Division and missing the playoffs for the first time since the mid-1990s. Attendance began to decline, averaging around 5,500 fans per game, a sharp drop from the 7,000–8,000 averages during their NPSL championship years. In August 2002, the franchise rebranded as the Cleveland Force, reviving the name of the popular original MISL team from the to capitalize on and refresh marketing efforts amid league realignment and stagnant interest in . The change was intended to boost revenue by approximately $1 million annually through renewed fan engagement, as stated by team president Paul Garofalo. Under new coach Andy Schmetzer, the Force improved in the 2002–03 season, posting a 19–17 record and qualifying for the playoffs as the fifth seed in the Eastern Division, though they were eliminated in the quarterfinals. Key players like forward Marinaro, the franchise's all-time leading scorer, contributed significantly, including in his final season in 2004–05 after being traded back to the team following his selection in the 2004 MISL . The team experienced further coaching turnover, with Mike Pilger returning briefly in 2003 before Andy Williams, a veteran midfielder and team captain, took over as player-coach in March 2004. The 2003–04 season saw a 15–21 record, still securing a playoff spot as the third seed in the East, but ending in a quarterfinal loss. Performance peaked in 2004–05 with a strong 23–16 mark, earning second place overall and advancing to the MISL Championship Series, where they fell 2–0 to the despite a competitive run that included a relocated home game in . Despite on-field competitiveness, financial pressures mounted due to persistently low attendance of 4,000–5,000 per game—well below the levels that supported the team's four NPSL titles in the 1990s—and broader MISL instability following the NPSL's collapse. Majority owner Richard Dietrich, part of the group that acquired the franchise in 1999, faced mounting losses and placed the team up for sale in March 2005, warning of cessation by May 1 without buyers. No suitable purchasers emerged, leading to the franchise's folding after the 2004–05 season amid league-wide contraction concerns, ending professional indoor soccer in Cleveland for over a decade.

Revival and modern era (2020–present)

In 2020, the Cleveland Crunch franchise was revived after a 15-year hiatus under new ownership led by Ruscitto and Eric Davis, who aimed to resurrect the team's storied legacy in professional . The team entered the (MASL 2) for the 2020–21 season, playing its home games at the Soccer Sportsplex in North Olmsted, , amid challenges from the that limited the schedule to tournament-style play. Drawing on the motivational of the original franchise's five championships, the Crunch quickly established itself, culminating in a 11–6 victory over the in the 2021 MASL 2 championship final held in . Following their inaugural title, the Crunch transitioned to the newly formed Major League Indoor Soccer (MLIS) ahead of the 2022–23 season, continuing to host games at the Soccer Sportsplex while building a competitive roster. The move allowed for expanded operations and greater regional focus, with the team securing its place among the league's founding members. In the 2023–24 season, the Crunch captured the MLIS championship with a 9–4 win over the Omaha Kings in the final, marking their second title in three years and solidifying their resurgence. Attendance during this period grew steadily, averaging around 1,000 fans per game by the 2024–25 season, reflecting increasing community interest in . The 2024–25 MLIS season saw the Crunch post an impressive 11–1 regular-season record, clinching both the Eastern Conference and overall regular-season titles before advancing to the playoffs. Despite their dominance, they fell short in the championship final, losing 8–10 in overtime to the Amarillo Bombers at the Wolstein Center in Cleveland. Standout performer Admir Suljević earned league MVP honors for the second consecutive year, highlighting the team's depth with contributions from players like Pewu and Musa. The season also featured the MLIS finals hosted at the Wolstein Center, drawing over 5,000 fans and underscoring the Crunch's growing impact on Cleveland's sports landscape. Looking ahead to the 2025–26 season, the Crunch announced a permanent relocation to the at , returning to the downtown venue originally known as the CSU Convocation Center during the franchise's early years. The 12-game schedule, released in September 2025, begins with a home opener on January 10, 2026, emphasizing accessibility and fan engagement. Season tickets launched on November 7, 2025, with early bird pricing to boost participation, while a new title sponsorship with Cardinal Credit Union was secured to support operations. This move positions the team as a key contributor to revitalizing Cleveland's scene, fostering a vibrant community amid the city's expanding soccer interest.

Championships

National Professional Soccer League (NPSL)

The Cleveland Crunch achieved significant success in the National Professional Soccer League (NPSL), capturing three championships during their tenure in the league from to 2001. These victories marked a dominant period for the franchise, highlighted by high-scoring offenses led by star forwards and strategic adaptations to the NPSL's unique multipoint scoring system, which awarded three points for goals from the opposite goal arc, two points from beyond a central arc, and one point for shots inside that arc. The championships not only elevated the team's profile but also contributed to the league's growth in the Midwest. The 1993–94 season culminated in the Crunch's first NPSL title, a 3–1 series victory over the in the best-of-five finals. After a lopsided 26–6 loss in Game 1 at , the Crunch rebounded with a 21–14 win in Game 2, followed by a dominant 29–8 triumph in Game 3 at home. The series concluded in Game 4 at the , where Cleveland secured a 17–15 overtime victory on a goal by forward Hector Marinaro, marking the city's first professional championship. Coached by Gary Hindley, the roster featured scoring leader Hector Marinaro with 113 goals, Zoran Karic (the league MVP with 108 goals), and defenders like Troy Dayak and Angelo Gemignani, whose contributions helped the team finish second in the American Conference during the regular season with a 23–17 record. This title was a pivotal moment in franchise history, establishing the Crunch as a powerhouse after transitioning from the MISL. In the 1995–96 season, the Crunch defended their dominance by winning the NPSL championship with a 4–2 series victory over the Kansas City Attack. Finishing the regular season atop the American Division with a 31–9 record, Cleveland advanced through the playoffs by overcoming the Buffalo Blizzard in the division semifinals and the Baltimore Spirit in the division finals before facing Kansas City in the championship series. Hector Marinaro again starred, leading the league with 96 goals and sharing MVP honors with St. Louis Ambush forward Fabiano Nogueira; his performance included key contributions in the clinching Game 6 victory at home. Under coach Bruce Miller, the roster included midfielders like Andy Schmetzer and Oscar Almaguer, alongside Marinaro and Karic, enabling a high-powered attack that scored 775 goals league-wide. This repeat title solidified the Crunch's offensive identity and boosted fan engagement in Cleveland. The Crunch claimed their third NPSL championship in the 1998–99 season, defeating the St. Louis Ambush in a best-of-five finals series that extended to five games.

Individual awards and honors

During the NPSL era, Cleveland Crunch players earned numerous individual accolades, highlighting the team's offensive prowess and defensive stability. Marinaro, the franchise's all-time leading scorer with over 1,000 career goals across his tenure, captured six NPSL awards between 1993 and 2001, including in 1992–93, 1994–95, and 1995–96 (shared with Victor Nogueira). He also dominated scoring, leading the league in points for seven consecutive seasons from 1993 to 2000, with a high of 248 points in 1992–93. Zoran Karic complemented Marinaro as part of the "Dynamic Duo," earning the 1993–94 NPSL MVP award and the scoring championship that season with 267 points in 36 games. Karic was selected to multiple All-Star teams, including as MVP of the 1993 NPSL hosted in , and contributed to the team's three s. Goalkeeper Otto Orf anchored the defense throughout the 1990s, earning All-League honors and playing a pivotal role in the 1994, 1996, and 1999 title runs, where his shutout performances in key playoff games underscored his impact. In 1999, Hector Marinaro again claimed MVP honors, while the team's overall success led to several All-League selections, though specific goalkeeper awards that year went league-wide to others. Both Marinaro and Karic were inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2019, recognizing their high-impact contributions to the sport, with Karic's jersey number 16 retired by the original Crunch franchise. The rebranded Cleveland Force era (2001–2005) in the second MISL saw limited individual honors amid the team's struggles, with no MVPs or scoring titles but occasional All-League nods for veterans like in 2002, reflecting the transitional period before the franchise folded. In the revived Crunch's modern era within the Major League (MLIS) and predecessors, Admir Suljevic has emerged as a standout, earning back-to-back MLIS MVP awards in 2024 and 2025 while leading the league in scoring both seasons, amassing 38 points (21 goals, 17 assists) in 2023–24 alone. His playmaking also netted the 2024–25 Playmaker Award for most assists, marking him as the first player in the revival to exceed 200 career points. Teammates Gabriel Pewu, Marijo Musa, Dave Jordan, and Macain J. Spragling were named 2024–25 MLIS All-Stars, contributing to the team's championship contention. The franchise has yet to retire numbers in its current iteration, and early draft selections like those in the 2020 MASL2 dispersal have focused on rebuilding rather than immediate honors.
