BOSSIER CITY, LA – The President’s Cup Champion Bossier-Shreveport Mudbugs of the Central Hockey League announced Thursday night that they have ceased operations. 
Citing severe economic conditions and the limited, league-imposed timeline to secure sufficient revenue for the upcoming season, the team said it was forced into the decision.
Despite the announcement, the Mudbugs will remain open for business throughout the month of June while season ticket deposits and playoff rollover money is refunded to fans in full.
“The first thing Leslie and I want to do is thank all the fans for the outpouring of support we have received over the past week,” owner Tommy Scott said on behalf of his family. “It’s been amazing how those people have stepped up to try and save Mudbugs Hockey. Unfortunately, time was our biggest enemy as we were forced to decide tonight about continuing and just were not able to get all the pieces put together quickly enough.”
Pro Hockey News will have more on this story as information becomes available.
