Feel bad for them. Isn’t it UA people that try to shite them down?
Nope. They decided to go Div I and later lost their conference. Couldn't recruit or draw fans and lost a shitload of games and money. The interim president killed it in 2012.
New president got a lot of locals to pledge to fund it, so it was reinstated, and they were accepted by a conference in 2013
Current president killed it because of financial problems from covid. Locals raised $500k to fund it for one more year.

Holy shite, I didn't realize how bad they'd been since they first lost their conference.
2010–2012 Chris Luongo 6–54–3 .119 First shutdown
2012–2013 Kurt Kleinendors 3–21–1 .140
2013–2020 Mike Corbett 48–181–24 .237 Second shutdown
That's one hell of a fall for a team that was winning DII NC's in the 90's and a conference championship in 2009, their last year before becoming the only independent in DI hockey.
