Harrisburg Heat (2012–present)
The Harrisburg Heat are an American professional indoor soccer team based in Hershey, Pennsylvania. The team temporarily competes in the Major Arena Soccer League 2 (MASL2), with plans to return to the Major Arena Soccer League (MASL) for the 2026–27 season.
The Heat formerly played its home games at the New Holland Arena (originally called the "Large Arena") and the Equine Arena at the Pennsylvania Farm Show Complex & Expo Center in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Beginning with the 2025–26 season, the team moved to nearby Hershey where it currently plays at the Hersheypark Arena.
The Harrisburg Heat claim the heritage of an original Harrisburg Heat franchise that was a member of the National Professional Soccer League (NPSL), which later became the Major Indoor Soccer League (MISL). Their mascot is a purple dragon named Scorch.
The Heat won its first and only championship title during the MASL2's 2025–26 season.
On May 2, 2012, the Heat were awarded a Professional Arena Soccer League (PASL) expansion franchise to begin with the 2012–13 season.
Richard Chinapoo served as the team's head coach the first two seasons before retiring and being replaced by onetime indoor soccer star Tarik Walker, who was fired after an 0–13 start in the 2015–16 season. Gino DiFlorio longtime assistant coach, served as interim head co-coach with Mark Ludwig for the remainder of the season, with a 1–5 record.
The Heat was sold by the PASL in September 2013 and was owned and operated by the Heat Soccer Group, LLC with longtime indoor soccer broadcaster John Wilsbach as the principal owner. Wilsbach served as the president and general manager.
On January 24, 2014, the Heat announced they would relocate from the 1,660-seat Equine Arena at the Pennsylvania Farm Show Complex & Expo Center to the complex's 7,300-seat New Holland Arena starting with the 2014–15 season. The original Harrisburg Heat played their home matches at the Large Arena during their 12 seasons of existence. The team was scheduled to join the Indoor Professional League in 2016, but it was later announced that they had rejoined the MASL.
