Fun With Numbers
Some Crazy Stats Heading into the 2026 Season
1 - team remaining from the inaugural AUDL season, the Indy Alleycats.
1 - player who has scored 50+ goals in last two consecutive regular seasons (Anthony “Gumby” Gutowsky, Radicals)
1 - player who has scored 40+ goals in last two consecutive regular seasons (Anthony “Gumby” Gutowsky, Radicals)
1 - team located farther North than Montreal. Seattle is actually quite a bit farther north than Montreal…Portland (home of the Oregon Steel) is at almost the exact same latitude as Montreal.
1 - now that the Mechanix are defunct, only one active franchise has over 100 all-time losses. The Philadelphia Phoenix are 51-108 all-time. The 2nd most losses belong to the Seattle Cascades, with 89.
4 - players who have thrown for both 60+ assists and 60+ turnovers in a season. They are David Brandolph (Phoenix, 2013), Pawel Janas (Union, 2017), Max Sheppard (Thunderbirds, 2018), and Jake Felton (Mechanix, 2024, 2025)
4 - players in UFA history with 400+ career assists. All of them are active. Pawel Janas (Union-533), Kevin Quinlan (Royal-443), Travis Dunn (Growlers-425) and Sean Mott (Breeze-420).
4 - players with 20+ regular season blocks last season. Jeff Babbitt (Glory), Noah Coolman (Summit), Luke Marks (Radicals), and Seth Gudeman (Alleycats) all had 20 blocks. Coolman was the only player in the league with 20+ assists, 20+ goals, and 20+ blocks. (Gudeman was close, with 19/27/20).
6 - teams in the league with 100+ wins. Two more should join them this year. The Union have 99 all-time wins and the Alleycats have 96.
7 - teams still in the league who entered in year two, 2013.
8 - players with 300 or more career goals. We could very well see four more players join the 300 club this season. Terrence Mitchell (Flyers-298), Max Sheppard (FA-290), and Quentin Bonnaud (Royal-284) will almost certainly reach it this year, and there’s a decent shot Travis Dunn (Growlers-275) does as well.
9 - years since a player NOT in the East Division won league MVP. (Jonathan Nethercutt, Flyers, 2017)
11 - goals scored by league commish Tim DeByl in 25 career games with the Radicals.
14 - Daan De Marre is 14th in Chicago Union history in +/-. He played 10 career games for the Union. Nobody else in their top 15 has played in fewer than 31.
17 - defunct teams in league history, after the Detroit Mechanix and Anaheim Aviators threw in the towel after the past season.
94 - miles between New York and Philadelphia. Those are the two closest teams in the UFA geographically.
232 - games played as members of the Phoenix by Eric Nardelli and Sean Mott. After Nardelli’s retirement and Mott’s move to DC, neither will be playing for Philly. It will be the first season since 2013 the franchise entered a season without at least one of them.
2541 - miles between Raleigh and San Diego. That’s the longest travel distance between two teams who will play each other this season. Carolina visits San Diego to start the season on April 24th.
