Prior to the Goaldiggers, Toledo had two minor league franchises: The Mercurys (1947–1962) and Blades/Hornets (1963–1974).

During their 12-year history, the Goaldiggers qualified for the post season 10 times, reaching the playoff finals six times (1975, 1977, 1978, 1982, 1983 and 1984) winning four Turner Cup playoff championships (1975, 1978, 1982, and 1983).

[citation needed] In 1981, Bill Beagan became a partial owner and the general manager of the Goaldiggers.

[1] After the 1985–86 season the franchise was forced to suspend operations due to financial difficulties and poor attendance.
