What happens when a minor league hockey team goes awol for a home game?
Vermilion County Bobcats failed to show up for a match against Quad City Storm on Sunday, leaving everyone bemused.The national anthem played as usual, and officials were primed with the puck, but after a two-minute delay and another five-minute wait, the game was declared a forfeit. Vermilion County's coach was nowhere to be seen, there was no athletic trainer and only one player was prepared to take the ice.
Videos emerged on social media showing the Quad's standing on one half of the rink compared to the empty bench, net, and ice on the other side with fans saying how embarrassing the situation was.
