Topeka’s
Kansas Koyotes football team announces it has signed an agreement to
compete in the newly formed Champions Professional Indoor Football
League, joining teams from at least nine other cities to deliver
hard-hitting indoor football action.
The
Koyotes are excited to form new rivalries with other nearby teams,
including Lincoln Haymakers, Mid-Missouri Outlaws, Kansas City Renegade,
Wichita Wild, Sioux City Bandits and Oklahoma Defenders.
The
move to the CPIFL means leaving the American Professional Football
League (APFL) which the Koyotes have competed in since its founding.
“Our
goal is to deliver the best sports entertainment in Topeka, and it’s
not a promise we were sure we could keep if we stayed in the APFL,” said
Pat Park, co-owner of the Kansas Koyotes. “There were several instances
last season in which APFL teams didn’t show up for their travel dates.
Our move to the CPIFL will give us complete assurance that we will
compete against a worthy league opponent each and every game while
reducing our travel time and expenses.”
Teams from Lincoln, Sioux City and Mid-Missouri also have moved from the APFL to the new CPIFL.
"The
CPIFL was formed with the idea of creating rivalries amongst cities
that make sense geographically," said CPIFL Commissioner James Bain.
“Another goal we had was to bring together owners with class and
professionalism that will operate their teams with integrity and the
Koyotes help us achieve those goals."
