The team was primarily stocked with talented foreign players such as Tony Carbognani, Helmut Dudek and Stan Stamenkovic.

Some Hartford players came with the franchise to Memphis, including Thomas Nevers, Hank Liotart and Bruce Rudroff.

The Memphis franchise added young Americans like number one draft choice Mike Garrett and Steve Allison along with more experienced pros to round out the first year roster.

Garrett was a young American with great skills and Carbognani was very good at passing and controlling the ball.

The new team has adopted the history of the original franchise and joins the charter Fayetteville Fury and Columbus Rapids.
