USPHL shuts down Wooster Oilers franchise
Team owner releases video statements disputing the league's announcement.
WOOSTER, Ohio — The team's website on Saturday was down, "due to some technical difficulties." The league it played in simply said, you're out.
The Wooster Oilers, which had been a member of the 70-plus-team U.S. Premier Hockey League Premier Division, got the boot on Friday, Oct. 14, in a 53-word news release issued as a graphic on the league's website and social media channels.
Marty Kerr, who is listed as a co-owner of the Wooster franchise, released at least two video statements disputing the league's announcement.
