The Milwaukee Wave indoor soccer team kicked-off its 2013
season this weekend in Missouri. The oldest professional soccer franchise in
the United States, the Wave has won six Major Indoor Soccer League Titles since
forming in 1984. The season opener against the Comets is the first meeting of
the two teams since Missouri knocked Milwaukee out of the postseason last year,
on their way to losing to the Baltimore Blast in the finals.
Head coach Keith Tozer helms the Wave for the 21st
season in 2013. The most experienced personality in indoor soccer, Tozer will
lead the team through a 20-game schedule this year, hoping to build on his 670
regular season wins with the team. Milwaukee natives J.C. Banks and Tony Walls are the newest
additions to the team, each signing two-year contracts after playing in various
semi-professional outdoor leagues.
The Wave's home-opener at the U.S. Cellular Arena comes on
December 7th. The Blast visit Milwaukee for that meeting, providing
fans one of the Wave's most anticipated games of the season right off the bat.
American Idol contestant and country superstar Chris Daughtry will perform
following the game.
The Wave's annual School Day Exhibition Games will take
place on December 4th and February 13th at the U.S.
Cellular Arena.
