MISL Ceases Operations


The Major Indoor Soccer League (MISL) has announced today that the league has ceased operations effective immediately. According to the official MISL press release, the move was implemented in an effort to "restructure" the league.

The MISL believes that moving to a new league structure "will help lower costs and attract additional owner/operators."

Baltimore Blast owner Ed Hale affirmed in a statement that the Blast will play next season and stated that the shake up will allow the new league to jettison "some of the stock ownership from previous owners." The fate of current MISL teams will be decided "soon," according to Hale's statement.

There is no word yet from the Ironmen. We here at the Local FE26 are tracking down our sources. We'll report any developments as soon as they are known.
