Also missing from the Fury line up will be Feasby.

Scott Feasby, the Fury's veteran defenseman and
longtime captain and known to many as "Farmer," has
announced his retirement.

Feasby, 33, played 13 pro seasons, including 11 with
the Fury. He has appeared in more Fury games than any
player in franchise history with 663 during the
regular season and 89 in the playoffs.

Meanwhile, the UHL announces their thirteenth team for
the season, the Moter City Mechanics. Oh boy!

Motor City Mechanics join UHL
http://www.fortwayne.com/mld/journalgazette/sports/9047109.htm

The Mechanics join the expansion Danbury (Conn.)
Trashers, raising the number of UHL teams to 13. Motor
City will play in the Great Lakes Sports City Superior
Arena, which Elmira Jackals owner Mostafa Afr owned
until 2002.

The Afr-owned Michigan Falcons -- they changed their
name to the Detroit Falcons in their second season --
played in that arena from 1991 to 1996 before moving
to Port Huron, Mich. Fraser is 18 miles north of
Detroit.

The Kansas City Star has reported that Kansas City,
Mo., will also field a UHL expansion team next season.
League officials have said division alignment, among
other league news, will be announced July 8.

Chris Grenville is also the kind of guy a team wants
when it needs production. He helped lead Laredo to a
CHL championship last season and scored 45 goals
during the regular season. He's scored 30-40 goals
consistently over the last five seasons. Grenville's
signing is a boost to a Fort Wayne team that was
looking for a goal scorer for the 2004-05 season.

As far as the Fort Wayne Komets are concerned, with
the signing of Chris Grenville, it's better late than
never.

Komets finally sign Grenville
