Hey everyone read this below what some of the jacakls staff and the city members had to say about it:
General Manager Robbie Nichols:
"The Frostbite and Trashers folding will not change their plans of playing in the UHL next season. But, they are prepared to pay a little more money in travel costs or maybe even get some help from the league. Monday's news has the city and county leaders a little concerned about the folding of the Frostbite and Trashers It could add more financial strain on the Jackals. We are already struggling with its cash flow"
Chemung County Executive Tom Santulli:
"To me, it certainly concerns me. I think that the league's gonna be decreased in size, especially in the Eastern Division, and we're gonna add significant travel monies to a team which already admits it's losing money. But if they say it's business as usual, then it's business as usual. Time will tell the story,"
City Councilman Jim Hare:
"Whatever they reassure you, you can never believe. Previously, there had been some interest in have our team join the Eastern league. That would save and cut costs, but my understanding is that the Eastern league doesn't want Dr. Afr, so it just re-enforces the fact that Dr. Afr needs to go," he says.
Jackals President Tamer Afr:
"We might but maybe not Jim hare is just trying to get rid of us, He has from day one. We are going to saty in the UHL untill we can move up a league higher."
