As the trio takes the helm, Tozer's positive outlook on the future of the league shows.

"Shep, JP, and I are extremely excited about working together along with all the owners, team management, coaches and players to move the game of professional indoor soccer forward here in North America. Indoor soccer has had a very rich past and a very bright future" he said.
