On October 8, 1999, the Harrisburg Heat traded Bader to the Detroit Rockers for future considerations.[3] In 2000, he played the summer season with the Connecticut Wolves of the USL A-League.[4] He then moved to the Buffalo Blizzard for the 2000–2001 season before moving to the Baltimore Blast in 2001.
