According to the buzz on their Facebook page, the team has folded.

Now I'm back to considering a bank loan just to watch a Blackhawks game in person. Well, I'm glad I was able to take-in at least one game before they folded. I knew it wasn't a good sign when tickets were only $7 per. If the Chi-Town Shooters couldn't make it at the same rink on $10 tickets, then how could these guys make it.
...the weekend weather given as a reason for cancelling games was horrible though. Seventy drivers were stuck in their cars for like 18 hours in Northwest Indiana.

Follower, not much else. I hated what Haines did as he had five pretty good
markets that got burned before they had a chance to prove anything.
The Wooster I was referring to was the Korn Kings which may have only
been beaten out by the Albany Choppers in the category of "pathetic
attempts to build a hockey franchise.".
[quote=""btincher38""]Is the AAHL strong enough to keep going? This is the third season and lots of people keep predicting every day is the last day. I wish them all the best because I live near Louisville, Ky and we have no team here. Hockey is the only sport I follow, so I follow all leagues from a distance.[/quote]
It isn't the AAHL itself, but a question of how deep these few owners pockets
are, and if they are willing to finish the season on a shoestring.
