The California Dream was a WTT team that played at Dream Stadium at Sunrise Mall in Citrus Heights, California, in the United States. The team was founded in 1993, as the Kansas City Explorers. After 20 seasons in Kansas City, the team moved to Irving, Texas, for the 2013 season and was renamed the Texas Wild. On February 23, 2015, WTT announced that a new ownership group had taken control of the Wild and moved the team to California, renaming it the California Dream.[1] In January 2016, the franchise was terminated by WTT due to noncompliance with the league.[2] Prior to folding, the Dream was the oldest continuously operating franchise in WTT.
The franchise won its only King Trophy as WTT champions in 2010, as the Kansas City Explorers.
