Colorado Eagles Exercise Option
May 31, 2011 - Central Hockey League (CHL) News Release
TEMPE, AZ (May 31, 2011) - The Central Hockey League (CHL) announced today that the Colorado Eagles hockey club (Larimer County Sports, LLC) have exercised their right to leave the league pursuant to a settlement agreement.
The decision follows previous litigation between the CHL and the Eagles that allowed in the constructed settlement agreement (2007) for the team to negate their license agreement following the 2010-11 season.
"We wish the organization well in their future endeavors," said Duane Lewis, CHL Commissioner. "The Eagles contributions to the CHL and vice versa have certainly been mutually beneficial and the team's tremendous fan base is to be commended for the presence they have displayed over the past eight seasons."
All Colorado players are declared unrestricted free agents within the CHL. The complete roster of teams participating in the 2011-12 season will be announced shortly.
