Albany, NY (My Sportsbook) - The Continental Basketball Association announced
on Monday that the Great Falls Explorers will cease operations effective
Monday, February 25.
The member teams of the CBA will not make up the remaining home games in Great
Falls.
The Explorers are 13-23 this season and ongoing arena issues have forced the
team to cease playing.
"This is an unfortunate turn of events for the Great Falls Explorers and the
CBA as a whole," said Explorers CEO Michael Tuckman. "Due to our ongoing arena
issues, I just felt it was in the best interests for myself and the CBA to
suspend operations for the remaining portion of the season.
"I knew when I took the helm in November it would be mission difficult with
the arena issues at Four Seasons, it has just turned into mission impossible.
If the arena issues are dealt with in a manner that it makes fiscal sense to
return to Great Falls, I would come back immediately." |
