NationMaster - Encyclopedia: California Cougars

In February 2004, John Thomas, a real estate developer, purchased an expansion team in the Major Indoor Soccer League for Stockton, California. The team was named the California Cougars so that it would represent all of northern California as a regional team. Because it is only 40 miles south of Sacramento, the team is hoping to draw fans of the old Sacramento Knights of the CISL and WISL. The team began play in the 2005-2006 season after the construction of its arena. In August of 2006 the team was bought by Rick and Greg Toy and their brother in-law Jim Rachels.
