TheEverett Raptors were a professionalindoor football team based inEverett, Washington. The Raptors were member of the Intense Conference of theIndoor Football League (IFL). They played their home games at theComcast Arena at Everett in Everett.
The Raptors franchise was the relocated team previously known as theKent Predators and later theSeattle Timberwolves.[1]
As of 2012, the Everett Raptors are out of the IFL. The parent company filed for bankruptcy, and the team was not in the league in 2012–2013.
The franchise was originally going to play inWasilla, Alaska as theArctic Predators, but complications between the ownership and the would-be head coach led to difficulty in obtaining a lease, so the IFL and the Arctic Predators split ways.[2] However, the A-Preds did not fold immediately; they played that season in theAmerican Indoor Football Association.
On January 10, 2011, the Kent Predators were sold to Jeffery Scott,[3] who hired new head coach Keith Evans, just two days later.[4] On April 13, the team was sold again, this time to Tom Dowling, changed the team's name to theSeattle Timberwovles while naming Mike Berry the team general manager, and Sean Ponder the team's new head coach.[5]
On October 18, 2011, it was announced that the Timberwolves were moving to Everett, adopting the newEverett Raptors identity.[6]
The Raptors were the second indoor football team to play in Everett, following theEverett Hawks of theNational Indoor Football League and later theaf2 which played from2005 until2007. A team called theEverett Destroyers was proposed for the IFL's inaugural2009 season, but folded before ever playing a single down.
On July 30, 2012, the parent company, Northwest Pro Sports LLC, filed For Bankruptcy. The Everett Raptors are now out of IFL and did not play 2012-2013.[7]
