The Iowa Chops American Hockey League franchise has been suspended for the 2009-10 season.
The suspension will be effective July 6, 2009 from the league’s Board of Governors.
“The Iowa franchise has unfortunately been unable to remedy certain violations of the provisions of the league’s Constitution and By-Laws,” said American Hockey League President and CEO David Andrews.
I know few people would care about this but I found it hitting home since I played for the owners who also own the Texas Tornado in the North American Hockey League. The owners are passionate hockey fans and I was stunned to hear this information. The Iowa Chops were an affiliate to the Dallas Stars two years ago but I guess they saw some early signs of trouble and backed a few years later.

Did you find out what "violations" the owners couldn't or wouldn't remedy?
