Wyoming
Cavalry Joins the Indoor Football League (IFL)
(Casper, WY -
August 31, 2010) - The Wyoming Cavalry Professional Indoor
Football Team announced today they will play in the Indoor
Football League (IFL) beginning with the 2011 season. The
Cavalry organization was unanimously accepted into the IFL by
their Board of Directors earlier in the day.
The move
reacquaints the Cavalry with rival teams Billings Outlaws, Sioux
Falls Storm, Sioux City Bandits, Omaha Beef and Tri-Cities
Fever, and creates an automatic 'I-25 border-war' with the
Colorado Ice out of Ft. Collins. The IFL - a merger between the
Intense Football League and United Indoor Football - enters its
third year with a national footprint of just under 30 teams.
Although the
IFL is only in its third year, most of the teams have been
operating for 5 or more years. The Cavalry celebrate twelve
years of professional indoor football when the 2011 season
begins.
"We are
opening a new chapter for the fans and supporters of the Wyoming
Cavalry," says Director of Business Operations, Argeri Layton.
"It's an exciting time to be a Cavalry fan!"
Division
alignment for the Cavalry will be determined during league
meetings next week, and the 14-game schedule is slated to be
available in November.
"We look
forward to meeting and working with our new business partners in
the IFL, and we anxiously anticipate the camaraderie, as well as
the on-field competition," continues Layton.
"We are
proud
to welcome the Wyoming Cavalry to our established league," says
IFL Commissioner, Tommy Benezio. "The IFL's desire is to grow in
quality and I can not think of a better way to achieve this goal
than the addition of the Wyoming Cavalry. A team with such an
impressive history and polished management multiplies the
overall strength of our league."
The public is
invited to the press conference on Sept. 21 at 2 pm - location
to be announced - to hear more details about the 2011 season.
