A lack of community support is what killed the River Kings, highlighted a press release sent out by the organization’s owner Steve Moreau. “Sadly, the decision comes on the heels of an off-season that has seen general manager Rick Lalonde put together, perhaps the most exciting roster the River Kings have ever had,”
further stated the release. The move comes after the organisation launched a campaign to sell 500 season tickets within five days. According to Moreau, the Kings had only managed to sell 20 tickets. “Throughout the summer, sponsors backed out or flat out refused to help,” explained a post on the River Kings’ Facebook page. “How do you convince investors to stay on board with results like this? You can’t. People won’t invest in a team the community won’t invest in. In the middle of this past week, all of our investors backed out.” Season ticket holders were offered three options; donate the value of their tickets to help cover expenses incurred in the off-season, hold their tickets in the event the River Kings return to the LNAH in 2017-18 or receive a full refund, which will be reimbursed throughout Racine family reunion All members of the Racine families of America are invited to the 29 th Reunion of the Racines, at the NAV Centre in Cornwall, on September 23, 24, and 25, 2016.A mass at Ste-Thérèse-de-Lisieux church will be celebrated in honour of all Racine families.
