Pensacola Membership Terminated
June 23, 2008 - ECHL (ECHL) News Release
PRINCETON, N.J. - The ECHL announced Monday that the Membership of
the Pensacola Ice Pilots has been terminated, effective immediately.
"On behalf of the ECHL we are very disappointed both for the Ice Pilots
fans as well as the other member teams of the ECHL," said ECHL Commissioner
Brian McKenna.
The termination of the Membership comes as a result of the Pensacola
ownership group notifying the ECHL that it did not intend to play in
2008-09 or any season thereafter. Failure to ice a team for play is grounds
for automatic termination under the ECHL Bylaws.
All Pensacola players will immediately become unrestricted free agents.
The league announced that work is underway on a revised version of the
2008-09 playing schedule.
