Representative Maurice West Joins the Action at Major League Indoor Soccer Match

State Representative Maurice West was honored to take the opening kick at a Major League Indoor Soccer matchup between the Rockford Thunder and the Chicago Mustangs, and the night was nothing short of unforgettable.

From the moment he stepped onto the field, the energy inside the building was electric. The crowd was fully engaged—off the wall with excitement—and the atmosphere reflected exactly what makes Rockford special: passion, pride, and strong community spirit.

Representative West was proud to show up for Rockford and to be part of a night that brought people together through competition and shared experience. Events like this highlight the importance of local sports in strengthening community connections and creating spaces where families, fans, and neighbors can come together to celebrate.

It was a great night for Rockford, a great night for indoor soccer, and a reminder of how powerful community-driven events can be when the city shows up and shows out.
