Josh Solomon
Owner, the Hartford Yard Goats
Professional soccer
In addition to leasing the stadium from the
city, Black Diamond will own the soccer team
that plays there; Anderson will be the team's
president and general manager and Duckett
the majority owner.
Meantime, Hartford City FC will play 10
home games this fall at the XL Center in the
Major Arena Soccer League, with a potential
for one or two more playoff home games.
Hartford will be an expansion team in the
23-team league.
"This gives us 10 extra events, and it brings
a different dynamic, a different audience than
our other events," said Chris Lawrence, XL
Center's general manager.
The team also is in negotiations with the
North American Soccer League (NASL) for
outdoor soccer games at Dillon Stadium in
2017, Anderson said, to create year-round
professional soccer in Hartford. Although they
will play under the same brand, the indoor
and outdoor versions of Hartford City FC will
have different coaches and different players,
although a handful of athletes may play for both
teams.
Duckett first came to New England in 2001
when he was playing arena league football,
according to his bio on Black Diamond's website.
Before that, he played for Millersville University
in Pennsylvania and then spent five years com-
peting for roster spots in the NFL. He is originally
from Maryland but now resides in Somers.
Duckett said the soccer team is the begin-
ning of what he wants to do to get Hartford
youth more involved in sports, particularly
during winter months that can lead to a more
sedentary lifestyle, which puts New England
athletes at a disadvantage from those in the
South who have warm weather year-round. n
▶ ▶ ' I am excited to bring
the outdoor team here,
too. This is just one piece
of the pie here, and
we are going to have
a few more.'
James Duckett, CEO,
Black Diamond Consulting
