What is the deal with utahfreezz.com? It looks like the site hasn't been maintained since early this year. Does anybody know what happened? I sent an e-mail to the webmaster, but didn't get a response (other than an autoresponder).

The domain names utahfreezz.com and freezz.com are owned by Chuck Granade. Chuck is a professional web designer and also played goal keeper for Coach Dave Poggi a couple of years ago in the EISL (Lafayette SwampCats). When the EISL went belly up, Poggi and several Lafayette players were contracted by the Utah Freezz. SwampCat players now with Freezz are Beau Brown, Matt Johnson, and Wes Sechrist. Because of this tie to Louisiana, many Swampcat fans took an interest in the Utah Freezz. Chuck was one who decided to follow the Freezz, and registered the domain name for his fan site. There are several posts on this board from Swampcat fans who have continued to follow their favorite players as well. Why Chuck has not kept his site up to date may be due to any number of reasons. The fact that Coach Poggi did not return to the Freezz this season may be a contributing factor that caused Chuck to loose some interest. It may be that he's busy with other things. But don't worry, I'll continue to work hard on this site and give you the most up to date info I can get.
