After winning the West Coast Senior Hockey League crown last season, the Deer Lake Red Wings have folded.
The team announced its demise on its Facebook page early Saturday afternoon.
According to the brief post, the Red Wings said it had no choice but to fold because of a lack of player interest.
The team’s executive said this was not an easy decision to make and thanked everyone who supported the Red Wings during the first two seasons of the newly formed league.
While the message ended by expressing hope of having a team again sometime in the future, it leaves the senior hockey league with just three teams: the Corner Brook Royals, Stephenville Jets and Port aux Basques Mariners.
