In their very first season, the Bandits were able to win the championship of the MILL and were the first team to achieve this feat. The following season they repeated their success and won the championship again in 1996. It wasn't until 1999 that they missed the playoffs for the first time . In addition to their three championship titles, they were in the final four more times.
