History

Coached by Luis Sagastume in 1975, the Thunder played their home games at North East Stadium. In 1976, they played their games at Alamo Stadium. Following the 1976 season, the team moved to Hawaii where they became Team Hawaii. The franchise existed for one season as Team Hawaii (1977) and later relocated again to Oklahoma, playing seven additional seasons as the Tulsa Roughnecks (1978–1984).[1]
