The original founder and former owner of the Long Island Rough Riders, Chuck Jacob also founded his current clubs, the Long Island Lady Riders and Brooklyn Knights. Under his guidance the Rough Riders and Lady Riders both won league championships in 1995. Jacob sold the Rough Riders after the 1997 season but is still an owner and chairman of both the Lady Riders and Knights. In 1994, Jacob established the Rough Riders and Lady Riders, who were one of the exhibition teams in the development year of what would become the W-League in 1995. The Lady Riders have dominated since, never losing more than five games in a single season, reaching the playoffs seven of nine seasons and winning the 1995 and 1997 championships. A year after leaving the Rough Riders, Jacob established the Brooklyn Knights as a provisional team in the PDL. In 1999, the club became an official member.
