The Shreveport Pirates were created in 1994 when the owners of the  team in Ottawa wanted to move the team to the U.S. This was rejected, but the owners were granted the Pirates and a new group took over the team in Ottawa. Forest Gregg was hired as head coach and star players like Joe Montford, Elfrid Payton, and Uzooma Okeke and the team had great fan support despite two last place finishes. The owners had significant debt, notable for a public incident in which the lawyer for one of the owners ran out of gas in an attempt to get away with a car that was being seized. The Pirates folded after the 1995 season.
