The Detroit Ignition is a dormant American indoor soccer team that has played three seasons, most recently 2008-09.

Contents

In April 2006, Greg Bibb, president of Hantz Group Sports and Entertainment, introduced the teams as a new Major Indoor Soccer League expansion team. They played at the Compuware Sports Arena in Plymouth Township, Michigan. Their first season was 2006–07 MISL season.

After the 2007-08 MISL season, the league folded. Soon afterwards, the Ignition joined the Xtreme Soccer League. The Ignition ended the 2008-09 campaign in first place which netted them the XSL title. The XSL went on "hiatus" after one season.
