Augusta Lynx News Release
PRINCETON, N.J. - The ECHL announced that the Augusta Lynx have suspended
operations, effective immediately and voluntarily relinquished their
membership back to the League.
The move comes as a result of the Augusta ownership group being unable to
continue to operate in 2008-09.
"We are very disappointed for our fans, league partners and the other
member teams of the ECHL," said ECHL Commissioner Brian McKenna. "The ECHL
would like to thank the Lynx fans for all of their support."
Augusta players will immediately become unrestricted free agents.
The league announced that the Augusta at Mississippi on Thursday and the
Gwinnett at Charlotte games on Thursday have been cancelled.
It was also announced that Gwinnett will play at Mississippi on Friday and
Saturday while Charlotte will play at South Carolina on Saturday.
Other game changes have Gwinnett playing at Mississippi on Dec. 13 and
Dec. 14 and traveling to Charlotte on Dec. 19 while South Carolina will
play at Charlotte on Dec. 21.
The league said that work has begun on a revised version of the playing
schedule which will be released as soon as possible.
