The Austin Ice Bats, a minor league hockey team based out of Austin, Texas, had to shut down the organization for the upcoming 2008-09 season because they couldn't find a new arena in time for the beginning of the season.

The Ice Bats are known for the best slogan in sports: Garanteed Fight Night, that is just awesome! Most of the players were released to free agency, but some of them went home to Canada.

The whole team is from Canada: people who wanted to go down to Texas, where college football is widely known, and let people know that hockey was just like football, in the physicality realm anyway.

I want to wish those players good luck wherever they land, and I hope that this team gets a new arena and starts playing again.
