Augusta, GA—One moment it was up, the next moment it was gone. A report on the Charlotte Observer’s website announced that its city’s hockey team, the Charlotte Checkers, would have schedule changes because a planned game against the Augusta Lynx was off. The article reported that the Lynx were on the verge of disbanding. That was news to the Lynx officials, who told WJBF News Channel 6 that it was “business as usual.“ Meantime, the Observer’s original article has since been pulled. According to the Observer, its information came from a written release that was later called into question. Until that information is confirmed to be true, the article will remain offline.
WJBF has called the East Coast Hockey League and Augusta-Richmond County Civic Center officials. Either nobody would confirm the team was disbanding or that such news was a complete surprise to them. We are continuing to work on the story and will have an update as soon as we get it.
