The Ohio Valley Greyhounds are a professional indoor football team. They're currently a member of the UIF. They began play in 1999 as the Steel Valley Smash, a charter member of the IFL. After the league folded, they moved to the NIFL, became a charter member, and renamed themselves as the Ohio Valley Greyhounds. After four successful years in the league, they moved to the UIF in 2005 and became a charter member to the new league. So far, the Greyhounds have yet to reach the same level of success from the NIFL years. They play their home games at WesBanco Arena in Wheeling, West Virginia.
