The Detroit Dukes won it all last year. They took the longest route as they finished one game behind the Chicago Fire in the NBC Central Division with a record of 86-76 but finished as the Wild-Card Champ. They defeated Phoenix in five, swept Chicago, and defeated The Houston Mavericks in seven. The Dukes have made five playoff appearances, 72 thru 74, then again in 79 and 80.
