About
Founded 1997
Founded November 1997 — the same year the USAFL itself was organized — the Boston Demons quickly became one of the league's earliest powers, winning back-to-back Division I National Championships in 1998 and 1999.
November 1997
Six blokes. The Burren Pub.
One Fall afternoon in November 1997, six blokes met in the Burren Pub in Somerville, Massachusetts to form a football club. Most of them had not met one another before but a message managed to get around and the group met with the common goal of starting a club so that they could have a kick of the footy and a couple beers afterwards.
The individuals were Paul Whiting, Paul Clarke, Adam Mutton, Rob Burgess, John Roe II and Dean Jackman.
Why Demons
They decided to call the team the Demons because Darren Louttit (the newly appointed coach) once played with the Melbourne Demons, the oldest established football club of any code in the world.

Who plays
Australia ex-pats and Boston locals.
The players who make up the Demons are a wide ranging bunch, with a healthy mix of Australia ex-pats and Boston locals. From teenagers to fifty year olds; we have lawyers, engineers, marketing execs, and military members, just to name a few.
Basically people from all walks of life who are interested in learning a new sport, making some new friends, and ultimately competing for a national championship.
