2014–15 Baltimore Blast season

August 2023 Baltimore Blast 2014–15 MASL Owner Edwin F. Hale, Sr. Head Coach Danny Kelly Arena Royal Farms Arena201 West Baltimore StreetBaltimore, Maryland 21201 Major Arena Soccer League 1st, Eastern (regular season) Ron Newman Cup Eastern Conference Champion Tony Donatelli (17 goals, 18 assists) 7,812 (November 8 vs. Syracuse Silver Knights) 4,911 (November 21 vs. Harrisburg Heat) 6,201 (10 games) 2013-14 (MISL) 2015-16 The 2014–15 Baltimore Blast season was the twenty-third season of the Baltimore Blast professional indoor soccer club. The Blast, an Eastern Division team in the Major Arena Soccer League, played their home games at Royal Farms Arena in downtown Baltimore, Maryland. The team was led by owner Edwin F. Hale, Sr. and head coach Danny Kelly. The Blast finished the regular season with an 18–2 record, good enough for first place in the Eastern Division and the top seed in the Divisional Final. The team defeated the Rochester Lancers to win the Eastern Division and the Missouri Comets to win the Eastern Conference. They were beaten by the Monterrey Flash for the 2014–15 Ron Newman Cup. The MASL honored Pat Healey as league's Defender of the Year and William Vanzela as Goalkeeper of the Year. History Launched in July 1992 as the Baltimore Spirit, an expansion team in the second National Professional Soccer League for the 1992–93 season, the team replaced the original Baltimore Blast which folded earlier in 1992 when the first Major Indoor Soccer League shut down. Ed Hale, an owner of the original Blast, bought the Spirit in July 1998 and changed the name to Baltimore Blast. In 2001, the team was a founding member of the second MISL. When that league shut down in 2008, they co-founded the National Indoor Soccer League which, one season later, became the third MISL. After the 2013-14 season, Baltimore was one of three teams that left the MISL, leading to the league's collapse. Along with five other former MISL teams, the Blast joined the teams of the Professional Arena Soccer League, which was soon rebranded as the Major Arena Soccer League. The other teams in the Eastern Division are former MISL clubs Syracuse Silver Knights and Rochester Lancers, plus PASL clubs Detroit Waza and Harrisburg Heat. Off-field moves Four of the five Eastern Division teams (the three former MISL clubs plus Harrisburg) keep score with multi-point scoring at their home games. Most goals are worth two points but goals scored from outside a 45-foot arc on the turf are worth three points. Games played at Detroit or in the Central, Southern, and Pacific Divisions are scored with traditional soccer scoring where every goal is worth one point.
