The Muskegon Thunder is a team of the Continental Indoor Football League scheduled to begin play in 2007. They will play their home games at the L.C. Walker Arena in Muskegon, Michigan.
The Thunder will enter their first season with Shane Fairfield as head coach. A well-respected figure in local high school football, he took the Holton Red Devils from a .120 winning percentage to a conference championship. Prior to that he coached his alma mater Muskegon Catholic Central, and Muskegon High School.
Defensive coordinator will be Detroit native Terry Foster, once a star for the Grand Valley State University team. Foster played in the AFL for the Grand Rapids Rampage and last year was assistant coach there. Offensive coordinator Brent White almost mirrored Fairfield's path from Muskegon to Holton, playing for the Big Reds from 1999 to 2002 and then stepping off the field as assistant JV coach at Holton. He quickly became offensive coordinator for the Holton Red Devils where he led his team to some record-breaking performances.
