The British Columbia Hockey League has announced that the membership of the Williams Lake Timberwolves franchise has been suspended following a vote from the league’s Board of Governors.
The vote came as a result of the Timberwolves being a Member Not in Good Standing within the BCHL. With its membership suspended, the Timberwolves will not take part in the BCHL’s 2010/11 season.
“It is always disappointing when a decision of this nature must be made,” says BCHL Commissioner John Grisdale. “However, our Board of Governors felt that it was in the best interests of the league that the Williams Lake franchise be suspended at this time.”
With the franchise not set to operate for the coming season, all rostered Timberwolves players have been released and are free to seek playing opportunities with a new team.
