Fort Worth Texas Brahmas,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
Maybe the headline is a little insensitive,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but it fits.
The Brahmas had a long time rivalry with the Bosier City/Shreveport Mudbugs. This was a great rivalry that went back to the Fort Worth days. These were the games that you wanted to get tickets for and go see, as there were always fireworks.
I can remember a game that my dad and I went to that was at the Fort Worth Convention Center. Parking was horrible that evening as there was some sort of high profile show going on in the Center as well. There were people dressed in suites and ties looking down there nose at us as we walked in the Center in blue jeans and me with my old personal hockey jersey on. I was probably 16 at the time. We showed up late for the game. By the time we got inside, it was about mid-way through the 2nd period. We walked into a show, let me tell you.
The coach at of the Bugs,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], I believe it to be Scott Muscutt,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], was very upset about what he perceived to be a bad call on one of his players by the ref. I walked in right as the penalty as called,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], so I didn't get a good look at the infraction itself. But the Mudbugs coach apparently saw something that he disagreed with. He walked up and down the bench,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], screaming and yelling at the ref. He then picked up every water bottle he could find on the bench and began hurling them at the refs in rapid succession,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], very nearly hitting the ref on several occasions.
Obviously, he was ejected by the refs once they were able to control him enough to actually get him out. The players fed off of this and their reaction was to stand up for their team,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and fights abounded.
Now, I am not saying that this is good hockey, but I am using it to speak to the great rivalry that existed between the two. The "IH20 rivalry" they called it. And this season, after 10 years of this rivalry in the CHL, and the Mudbugs 14 year total history,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a history that was filled with now Brahmas coach Dan Wildfong playing for them,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], they are no more.
The team announced that they were ceasing operations in June of this year due to hard economic times. They could not meet the deadline set by the league to secure revenue,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. The team claimed that they simply could not continue to lose large sums of money like they had the past year,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
This is especially sad,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], as the Mudbugs were the 2010-2011 Presidents Cup Champions. They win the championship, and the next year they have to fold due to not having enough revenue/ticket sales. They had set a goal of 2,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],500 season tickets and could not reach it. It seemed to many to be an unreachable goal to begin with, but it was the only way apparently that they could continue. So,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], what does it take in this league to continue to bring in money? Obviously winning simply is not enough.
