Hawaii Hammerheads

The Hawaii Hammerheads was an indoor football team in the Indoor Professional Football League (IPFL) during the 1999 season. The Hammerheads were owned by George Heatherington and played their home games at the Neal S. Blaisdell Center in Honolulu, Hawaii. The team's official colors were: Aqua, Silver and Black. The head coach for the Hammerheads was Guy Benjamin.

The Hammerheads brought Hawaii its first ever football championship in an upset against the Texas Terminators in the 1999 IPFL Championship game played at Austin, Texas 28-13. After the season, the team folded due to the team not making any money the first year and not being able to secure financial backing for the 2000 season.cite news

1999 IPFL Championship Game

On August 20, 1999, the # 2 Hawaii Hammerheads (10-6) defeated the # 1 ranked Texas Terminators 28-13 at the Travis County Expo Center in front of 4,527 fans. Behind an opportunistic defensive effort, the Hammerheads held the Texas offense, the league's highest-scoring unit well below its regular-season average of 40.8 points per game. In doing so, Texas finished with just eight first downs and 144 yards of total offense. Aside from recording four turnovers (two fumble recoveries and two interceptions), Hawaii also held the regular-season champion Terminators scoreless for two quarters.
