BTL: New York Nightmare
3Team Captain:
MLB Quentin Sands
The New York Nightmare entered The League in 1978, to fill the void left when the New York Shamrocks team was wiped out in a plane crash. The League originally proposed the name Crusaders for the franchise but "Nightmare" was selected instead based on the infamous headline from the 1967 Shamrocks crash. The New York Nightmare began play in 1979, playing in the old Shamrock Stadium. The team shocks everybody by making it to the Division I Championship although they lost to the Chicago Marauders.
It would only take till 1982, the year their new stadium, Nightmare Cathedral is built, for the Nightmare to win The League Championship. After the strike years of 1990-1993. The Nightmare heralded the return of The League by winning back-to-back championships in 1994 & 1995. The surviving members of the Shamrocks presented the championship rings to the Nightmare in 1994 in a moving ceremony.
In 2001 the New York Nightmare's stadium is wrecked by the 9/11 attacks. During this time the Nightmare moved to a temporary stadium in New Jersey while it was being fixed. They got the stadium fixed in time before the start of the 2002 season.
In the 2002 draft, the Nightmare acquired linebacker and new team captain, Quentin Sands. The team didn't have a franchise player since John Preston (1994-1998). Sands was a force in the League, he had the speed of a cornerback and strength of a linebacker, and after that the Nightmare signed Amos Newell to add to the Defense. It wouldn't be until 2004 the Nightmare made it back to the playoffs, however they would come up short losing to the New England Regulars. The Nightmare wear a shamrock on the front of their jerseys as a tribute to the old New York franchise.
