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, HI . 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 a upset against the Texas Terminators in the 1999 IPFL Championship game played at Austin, TX 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. {Link without Title} HAMMERHEADS STAFF & TEAM INFO Majority Owner/President: George Heatherington Minority Owner: Robert Wu Director of Communications: Chris Hart Director of Sales and Marketing: Kalei Kamakahi Director of Promotions: Tamme Strickland Head Coach: Guy Benjamin 1999 IPFL HAWAII HAMMERHEADS SCHEDULE Saturday, April 17th - Hawaii Hammerheads 27, Mississippi Fire Dogs 24 Saturday, April 24th - Texas Terminators 36, Hawaii Hammerheads 21 Thursday, April 29th - Texas Terminators 49, Hawaii Hammerheads 34 Sunday, May 9th - Hawaii Hammerheads 53, Idaho Stallions 37 Saturday, May 15th - Idaho Stallions 27, Hawaii Hammerheads 26 (OT) Sunday, May 23rd - Hawaii Hammerheads 57, Rocky Mountain Thunder 40 Friday, May 28th -Hawaii Hammerheads 37, Rocky Mountain Thunder 18 Saturday, June 5th - Hawaii Hammerheads 38, Idaho Stallions 34 Saturday, June 12th - Idaho Stallions 63, Hawaii Hammerheads 51 Saturday, June 19th - Hawaii Hammerheads 48, Rocky Mountain Thunder 44 Saturday, June 26th - Hawaii Hammerheads 28, Rocky Mountain Thunder 17 Saturday, July 3rd - Hawaii Hammerheads 55, Texas Terminators 44 Saturday, July 10th - Hawaii Hammerheads 36, Louisiana Bayou Beast 13 Saturday, July 17th - Mississippi Fire Dogs 35, Hawaii Hammerheads 20 Sunday, August 1st - Hawaii Hammerheads 24, Louisiana Bayou Beast 20 Wednesday, August 4th - Louisiana Bayou Beast 32, Hawaii Hammerheads 30 IPFL Playoff game Saturday, August 14th - # 2 Hawaii Hammerheads 36, at # 3 Mississippi Fire Dogs 16 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. |
