Pittsburgh Spirit

Encyclopedia : P : PI : PIT : Pittsburgh Spirit

The Pittsburgh Spirit were an indoor soccer team based out of Pittsburgh and were one of the original six teams that played in the Major Indoor Soccer League. The Spirit folded after the '79-'80 season, but returned 1 year later and played in Pittsburgh until 1986. Their best season occurred in '84-'85, when the team went 32-16. Their home arena was the Pittsburgh Civic Arena — also known as the Igloo — now called Mellon Arena. There was an attempt to revive the Spirit for the final MSL (as it was then called) season, but it did not come to be. Some of their more notable players were Stan Terlicki and Kevin Maher, who won the MISL's rookie of the year award in 1984.
