Downriver Waves
The Downriver Waves are an original team of the UFFL, established as one of the United Conference teams in 2014. The team name 'Downriver' represents many southern Detroit municipalities like Southgate, Wyandotte, Lincoln Park, Allen Park, Ecorse, River Rouge, Riverview, Trenton, Woodhaven, Brownstown Charter Township, Gibraltar, and Grosse Ile Township. Much of the management of the Detroit Speedsters came to Taylor after the dissolution of the FAFF. Although historically unsuccessful in their attempts to win the championship, they finally came home with their first win in 2008, and are notorious for winning the first UFFL FurBowl, which they accomplished by beating the Fargo Axemen 13-10 in overtime.
Due to a lack of consistent support, the team fell apart in 2015, finishing with a 3-13 record overall, and has struggled to recover ever since. In 2018, as part of the UFFL expansion to 16 teams, the Waves franchise moved to the Continental Conference, East Division.
