Franchise history
[edit]2022 season
[edit]The Shred's inaugural season was 2022, when the UFA was known as the American Ultimate Disc League (AUDL). With the addition of the Shred alongside two other teams, the Colorado Summit and the Portland Nitro, the AUDL reorganized ahead of the 2022 season. The new West Division included Salt Lake, Colorado, Portland, the Los Angeles Aviators, the Oakland Spiders, the San Diego Growlers, and the Seattle Cascades.[citation needed]
Multiple Shred players earned end-of-season honors in 2022—Jordan Kerr was named to First-Team All-AUDL, Chad Yorgasun to All-AUDL Defense Team and All-AUDL Rookie First Team, and Luke Yorgason to All-AUDL Rookie Second Team.[2]
