Howie is editor & publisher of 50-Yard Football

The Indoor Football League, founded in 2009, enters its 18th consecutive season in 2026 as the longest continuously operating indoor football league in the United States and the sport’s de facto major league.

With 14 teams across eight top-50 media markets, the IFL combines a national footprint with a proven development pipeline—more than 350 players have advanced to the NFL or CFL—while maintaining ties to cornerstone franchises such as the Arizona Rattlers, Iowa Barnstormers and Jacksonville Sharks.

Played on a 50-yard field with eight players per side, the league emphasizes high-scoring, fast-paced action. Led by Commissioner Todd Tryon since 2019, the IFL has expanded its reach, grown viewership and strengthened its position as the most stable and recognizable brand in indoor football.

Max Plante’s Hobey season changed everything for the Bulldogs

Max Plante’s Hobey season changed everything for the Bulldogs

Plante has already given UMD a great season, another Hobey and a place back among the country’s serious programs. What he has not yet delivered is the one thing that would separate his Bulldogs career from nearly every other individual masterpiece.

Howie: The Bulldogs are built to win now

Championship opportunities are temporary, particularly now. Max Plante will not remain at UMD forever. Neither will Zam Plante, Shaugabay or Hanson. Professional hockey will come calling, and the roster eventually will be pulled apart by the realities of the sport.
