The United Soccer League (USL) severed its relationship with the Northern Colorado Hailstorm FC, causing a dramatic change in the soccer scene. USL League One made this choice after the Future Legends Sports Complex filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, according to 9News. This complex has impacted the league’s sudden action and is home to the Windsor-based squad.
In their statement, the league underlined how crucial it is to protect club owners’ interests and maintain organizational standards. The Hailstorm is owned by Jeff Katofsky and his son Casey, along with former Rockies outfielder Ryan Spilborghs, according to Coloradoan. As a managing member of Future Legends 5 LLC and a co-founder of the sports complex, Katofsky seems to be at the center of the current club turmoil.
Northern Colorado Hailstorm reacted negatively to the league’s decision, calling the dismissal a “unfortunate unilateral surprise decision,” assuring supporters that they would continue to play and looking into their options for the next season. According to The Denver Post, they had their greatest USL League One season to date this year. After finishing with 41 points and making it to the playoffs, the team’s run was ended in the quarterfinals when they lost to Spokane Velocity 3-0 in what turned out to be their final league game.
Although the team’s future is still uncertain, their tenacity implies that they are a soccer team that isn’t quite ready to hang up their boots. Hailstorm is rapidly navigating through alternate alternatives in order to maintain its dream and sense of community as the upcoming season approaches. Supporters will be keeping a close eye on the team in the hopes that they won’t be out for too long and can find other ways to keep playing and improving.
