The 2014–15 Ontario Fury season was the second

.

The team was led by general manager and head coach Bernie Lilavois plus assistant coach Joe Pollard.[3] The Ladies of Fury dance team was directed by Lynae de Leon.[4][5] Ontario finished the 2014–15 season with a 13–7 record, second best in the Pacific Division, but lost their first-round playoff game to the Las Vegas Legends.

Season summary

The Fury struggled early in the season, losing 3 of their first 4 games. A road win over the

Harrisburg Heat was the first of 6 consecutive wins that followed. A pair of losses to the San Diego Sockers
at home and on the road left Ontario with a 13–7 record and 2nd place in the Pacific Division. The Fury qualified for the post-season but fell 5–6 to Las Vegas in the Pacific Division Semi-Final.

History

The Fury entered the

Sacramento Surge, but dropped six straight matches then struggled to find their way. With their only road win coming at fellow expansion team Bay Area Rosal
, the Fury finished the season with a 5–11 record and missed the playoffs.

Off-field moves

The team established a non-profit organization named the Fury Foundation to promote healthy living to young people.[8] Activities include school assemblies, soccer camps, and an educational program called "Health's A Kick".[9]

In May 2014, the Professional Arena Soccer League added six teams from the failed third incarnation of the

Tacoma Stars.[16]

In September 2014, the Fury purchased the Tijuana-based Toros Mexico and designated the franchise as their official developmental team in the Premier Arena Soccer League. Former Toros Mexico owner Joe Pollard will serve as an assistant coach for the Fury as well as running the developmental team.[3]
