EspañolMICHIGAN BUCKS
(Redirected from Mid-Michigan Bucks)
'Michigan Bucks' are an American soccer team, founded in 1995. The team is a member of the United Soccer Leagues Premier Development League (PDL), the fourth tier of the American Soccer Pyramid, and play in the Great Lakes Division of the Central Conference against teams from Chicago, Cleveland, Fort Wayne, Grand Rapids, South Bend and Toronto.
Throughout their existence they have been one of the most successful minor league soccer teams in the United States, qualifying for seven US Open Cups, and winning five divisional championships. In 2000 the Bucks became the first PDL team to defeat an MLS team in the US Open Cup when they beat the New England Revolution at Foxboro Stadium. They won their first PDL Championship in 2006, defeating the Laredo Heat 2-1. On April 8, 2006 the Bucks and Major League Soccer's Columbus Crew announced a partnership which allows Bucks players to go on training stints with the Crew, as well as having the MLS side annually come to the Detroit area to play a friendly with their sister team.
The Bucks are currently without a regular home home field, and during 2007 have been playing games at numerous different venues in central Michigan, including Athens High School in Troy, Independence Park in Canton,
Andover High School in Bloomfield Hills, Saline High School in Saline, Saginaw Soccer Complex in Saginaw, Lake Orion High School in Lake Orion, Rochester High School in Rochester Hills, and even at Columbus Crew Stadium in Columbus, Ohio. For the 2008 PDL season the Bucks will take up permanent residency at the brand new Ultimate Soccer Arena in Pontiac, Michigan.
The team's colors are white and black. Until the 2004 season, they were known as the 'Mid-Michigan Bucks'.
