Shockwave to Sit Out 2008, Resume Play for 2009

Looking Forward to 2009
Changes on the horizon for the Shockwave
After a great inaugural season, the San Diego Shockwave have decided to lay dormant for a season while a solid west coast division can be built in a strong national indoor league. The Shockwave looks forward to returning in 2009 to continue offering fans and players the opportunity for competitive indoor football.
To help expedite the process the Shockwave ownership is looking into investing in an established team that is part of one of the multiple leagues the Shockwave is considering being a part of for their return in 2009. The team hopes that being an active part of a league will give them more power in helping to lay the foundation to build a strong west coast division, of which teams are already being recruited.
During the break in active play, the Shockwave is also researching the possibility of building a sports complex. The building of our own facility will create investment opportunities, giving individuals the chance to become part of the Shockwave. Please call or e-mail the Shockwave offices for more information on these opportunities.
The Shockwave would like to thank all of its loyal fans and followers for their support, and encourage them to send any questions, comments or concerns to abqnwv@r.postjobfree.com or call 877-***-****.
From my experience, most teams that say they're "taking a break" never do return the next year, if ever. (Richmond Speed, Laredo Law, PIFL, etc.)
Proud to be a veteran of these boards for the last 5 years...

Usually true, but most teams don't have the financial strength of the Shockwave ownership. I don't think we've heard the last of the Sprowls, not by a longshot.

That sound you heard was the "panic" button going off in Casper and the AIFA office.

This league (NIFL) is like a frickin' cockroach. You could throw a nuclear bomb at it and it would still survive

So I'd rather spend a quarter of an ABA franchise to repair my car, as opposed to spending a franchise and a half to get a new car that might have some planned obsolescence that causes it to break down 5 days after the end of the warranty period.

Wyoming jumped to the AIFA as part of anticipated "West" division. One that was theorized to include San Diego (and not much else). Wyoming's pretty isolated right now.

I can tell you that I would be shocked if Wyoming had counted on San Diego to be part of the AIFA. The Cavalry management has been looking elsewhere for AIFA opponents.

The Pueblo newspaper had an article a while back that said that there were other leagues looking into Pueblo after the Pistols folded. I'm thinking Pueblo will be an AIFA team next season. It might be possible that a few teams jump ship from the af2 and UIF, but the AIFA shouldn't be depending on that.
