Say goodnight to...

The Richmond Riverdogs (UHL Franchise possibly moving to Bloomington)

The Missouri River Otters (Maybe Hoffman Estates?)

Missouri has not officially closed up shop. They are looking for a buyer.

They've fired all the employees, so in that respect, they've "closed up shop" -- they just haven't technically folded yet. If there's no buyer in four weeks, they're gone.

Also, I'm hearing heavier rumblings than usual that the Adirondack Frostbite are done, too -- the Kalamazoo owner subsidised their existence this season, but I wouldn't be surprised if he wasn't willing to do so for another year...

To be honest, I can't see how many (most) of the UHL teams are still around. You have 8 teams drawing under 2,700 fans per game, and the owners almost have to be losing money hand over fist at that rate (unless they can somehow come up with drastically lower operating costs than the CHL).

I'm impressed with the owners for sticking it out. Hell, put a UHL team in Topeka, we can manage to draw 2,700 fans per game, which would put us in the top 1/2 in attendance.

Motor City looks like this will be their final season.

It's gone. They have vacated a now bare Family Arena. The offices have been cleaned out.
