Chicago Slaughter Wiki Information
The Chicago Slaughter
is a team in the Continental Indoor Football League that began play in 2007. The original team name was the "Foxes", but original team GM Brett Vickers changed the name when his nephew's wife suggested they should have a a name which reflected the working people of Chicago like the Bohemian Meatpackers of the old Chicago Stockyard. The name was shortened to Slaughter so their home field could be called the Slaughter House. They play their home games at the Sears Centre in Hoffman Estates, Illinois. The team was originally intended to be a part of United Indoor Football, but due to a dispute with the league, it changed its course.
Another of Brett Vickers' nephews suggested the team interviewed William "The Refrigerator" Perry and Steve "Mongo" McMichael from the 1985 Chicago Bears Super Bowl XX championship team for the head coaching position. Such suggestions were made to tap into the love the area had for the 1985 Bears and McMicheal's love of hardnosed tough football. . McMichael is head coach, while Perry is Director of Football Operations. In the off-season prior to the 2009 season, Super Bowl XX Champions Jim McMahon and Otis Wilson were signed as Quarterback and Linebackers scouts respectively. .
Their rivals are the Rock River Raptors and Milwaukee Bonecrushers.
On June 27, 2009, the Slaughter won the CIFL championship, finishing the 2009 season undefeated. [1]
