More Fresno Falcons.
The Fresno Bee tells a very sad account of the Fresno Falcons' decision Monday to cease operations.
Among the key points:
- It's possible the Falcons could return for a 42nd season in 2009-10, but ECHL commissioner Brian McKenna told the newspaper "a great deal of damage has been done."
- 27 players, three coaches and "up to seven" staff members will lose their jobs.
- Because many of the players and coaches are Canadians and here on work visas, they cannot get unemployment benefits and may face deportation.

Hi, J.P.
Thanks for being on top of the Reign as you are. I'm happy someone in our area gives them some type of coverage other than the blurbs I was only able to find in one of your competitors paper. Keep it up!
