AUGUSTA, Ga. - Augusta will no longer be home to a minor league hockey team. After 10 ½ years, the Augusta Lynx are calling it quits.

Now the James Brown Arena is trying to fill in the gaps and Lynx employees are trying to find new work.

The James Brown Arena has been a home to the Augusta Lynx for the past 10 years, now without a hockey team in the middle of hockey season; they've got a big schedule to fill.

With 29 new dates to fill, no one knows the gaps better than the arena's General Manager, Monty Jones, Jr.

"It's unfortunate that they're gone, but we're just gonna aggressively go out and bring new things here,” says Jones. “It just gives us more dates to bring more shows to the facility."

At the Lynx offices, things are pretty empty. Managers gave the employees Wednesday off.

Employees say not even team managers knew about the team's fate until 5:00 p.m. Tuesday night.

"We're still in shock,” says the team’s play-by-play announcer, Anthony Langella. “Obviously the news is out there, there's nothing you can do at this point, but we're just devastated by it. We're all basically without jobs right now."

Season ticket holders have no idea what's going to happen to the tickets they paid more than $500 for, but Lynx employees say managers are working on it.

"Right now, I know they're already looking ahead and seeing what they're gonna do for the season ticket holders and the corporate sponsors. There's no answer right now, but certainly they're gonna make sure things are properly taken care of."

Fans might be out of their tickets, but for players and staff the news is even worse; all are now without jobs and say they’re not sure if they'll even receive their next paycheck.

"What are we gonna do next? Where are we gonna go?” said Langella. “The holidays are coming up. It's just something I don't think a lot of us have given thought to. We really thought we would see hockey continue here throughout the season and beyond. [The team] is over."

Although the team has folded, the Lynx staff says they still plan on continuing with their holiday charity events, like handing out nearly 500 Teddy bears to children in the hospitals.

The team’s owners tell NBC Augusta 26 News they didn’t get enough support from Augusta – meaning people didn’t buy tickets to the games.
