Dayton Silverbacks

The Dayton Silverbacks are a professional indoor football team based in Dayton, Ohio. A member of the Continental Indoor Football League, the Silverbacks play their home games at Hara Arena in nearby Trotwood.

History
The team began play in 2006 as the Miami Valley Silverbacks, an expansion member of the American Indoor Football League. On Saturday, March 25, 2006, WR/DB Maurice Lee managed to set five AIFL wide receiver records, en route to his team's 57–54 Week 5 road victory over the Steubenville Stampede. He set the records for most catches (16), most reception yards (191), most receiving touchdowns (7), most points (42), and total touchdowns (7).

After the season, the team decided to move to the Continental Indoor Football League, along with their brother franchise, the Steubenville Stampede.

The Silverbacks planned on sitting out the 2009 CIFL season, but due to the West Virginia Wild getting suspended from the league, the CIFL offered for the Silverbacks to take the place of the Wild. They will play a 12-game season, primarily as a traveling team.

On April 14, the Silverbacks announced that a majority of their remaining 2009 season will be broadcast live online for free on MCP-TV at www.miamicountypost.com. Professional sports announcer JT Szabo will provide the play-by-play. The 2010 Silverbacks announced they will continue play in the CIFL as a travel squad. The team named former Cincinnati Swarm (af2), Louisville Fire (af2) and Cincinnati Marshals (NIFL) assistant Brian Wells as head coach. The 2010 Silverbacks finished the regular season with the best winning percentage in team history (.400) and their second ever playoff berth; Friday, June 18 vs. Cincinnati Commandos at Cincinnati Gardens. The Silverbacks will play 2011 home games at Hara Arena in Dayton, Ohio.
