The Chicago Power were an indoor soccer club based in Chicago, Illinois that competed in the American Indoor Soccer Association and National Professional Soccer League.
After the 1995–96 season, the team was sold to Peter Pocklington, moved and became the Edmonton Drillers.
Although the Power was primarily known only as an indoor team, in the summer of 1992 they formed a full outdoor squad. Home matches were played at St. Charles High School's Norris Stadium and at Hanson Stadium on the Northwest Side. In addition to several exhibition matches they participated in the 1992 Professional Cup alongside five APSL and two CSL clubs. Chicago also took part in another international series dubbed Copa Chicago '92 which included Liga MX's Tecos F.C. and Tigres UANL and the APSL's Miami Freedom. They finished last in both competitions. In eight outdoor matches that year the Power won only once, lost five times, while drawing twice. In 1993 several other APSL clubs joined them in summer outdoor play.
