He would captain the team for three seasons, earning All-Star recognition in 1996, until a trade to the New England Revolution before the 1999 season. He would end his MLS career splitting 2000 between the Revs and the San Jose Earthquakes and spent 2001 in the A-League with the Charleston Battery. He retired from competitive soccer at the end of the 2001 season.

Calichman was honored by the Galaxy in a pre-game match ceremony on April 4, 2009.[2]
