The Prince George Fury are a professional indoor soccer club, based out of Prince George, British Columbia, Canada. The club was founded in 2009 when the CMISL (Canadian Major Indoor Soccer League) approved Prince George's expansion bid.
Home Arena The CN Centre is a 5,967-seat multi-purpose arena. In addition to being the home ground for the Fury, it is also home to the Prince George Cougars ice hockey team and plays host to various concerts and entertainment events. Naming the Fury On November 4th, 2009, Prince George FC finally had an identity. 'Fury' was chosen as the winner of a city-wide contest to name the team, with the winner receiving season tickets and bragging rights. John Mehrassa and his family chose the name from several suggestions, saying that previous experiences with the team helped choose the name. "First of all when we were watching the first practice we were both amazed at the number of people who attended and were surprised at the pace of the practice which was very fast and furious. So we both agreed that Fury reflected the way we saw the team. Also, of all the names and logo ideas the ones that seemed to best reflect the team, the action and at the same time complement each other, that is the name and the logo, was the Fury."
