Kankakee County Soldiers
The Kankakee County Soldiers was a semi-professional basketball team of the Independent Basketball Association (IBA).
For their first five seasons (2007–11), the Soldiers played in the International Basketball League (IBL). In October 2011 team president Barry Bradford formed the Independent Basketball Association. The Soldiers were one of six charter members of the IBA.
History
Formed in 2007 as the Chicago Heights Soldiers, the club became the Windy City Soldiers in 2008. For the 2009 season it was announced that the team name would change from Windy City Soldiers to Kankakee County Soldiers.
Kankakee County played six seasons in the IBL, winning the 2010 Winter season.
The Soldiers were winners of the first five[1] IBA championships. That streak ended in June 2014 when Grand Rapids Fusion captured the IBA Spring season title.
