Chicago Storm
in the MISL archive.
First overall in the dispersal draft, and seven players from one folded roster.
MISL.net / Clubs / Chicago Storm

The Chicago Storm opened the 2005 dispersal draft. Pick one of fifty-nine was theirs, and they used it on Mark Ughy out of the San Diego roster. Six more followed across the twelve rounds — Jacob Ward, Kevin Sakuda, Attilla Vendegh, Paul Wright, Ato Leone and Lee Morrison — and every one of the seven came from San Diego. No Monterrey player went to Chicago.
Eight reports name the club, between 29 October 2004 and 2 October 2007, with 59 mentions across the corpus. The first of them is an injury bulletin: the captain Ted Chronopoulos placed on the fifteen-day disabled list with plantar fasciitis, and Ryan Futagaki signed.
The Storm hold none of the fourteen honours the archive preserves. They do appear in the award reports repeatedly, because the All-MISL team selections name several clubs at once — Lazo Alavanja is listed among the 2005-06 All-MISL Second Team defenders in the report of 22 May 2006, and the club is named in the 2004-05 All-Rookie report as well.
The coverage sits entirely inside the revival era. A later Chicago club, the Riot, appears elsewhere in the recovered corpus and is a separate side; nothing in these eight reports connects the two, and this page does not.

8 of the 50 recovered reports name this club, filed between 2004 and 2007 — all of them in the revival. Every one is served verbatim as it was recovered. Nothing is reconstructed.
Elsewhere on MISL.net
The archive index lists all 50 recovered reports by year. The records page holds every league honour and the complete 2005 dispersal draft; the players record sets the draft out club by club. The fixture list preserves the 2010-11 season, and the three eras explains how one league name covered three separate competitions between 1978 and 2014.
