Ultimate Indoor Football League: The UIFL has announced its second expansion team for 2012 will be the Florida Tarpons based in Estero, near Fort Myers. The Tarpons and the previously announced Rome (GA) River Dogs will be part of a proposed South Division in 2012.
Continental Indoor Football League: The CIFL has cancelled the remaining three games on the schedule of the Port Huron (MI) Predators after the owner left the team. Port Huron was an expansion team for the 2011 season. The CIFL had lost a previous Port Huron franchise called the Port Huron Pirates that had played two seasons (2006-07).
Lingerie Football League: The new LFL Toronto-based franchise for the upcoming 2011-12 season will be called the Toronto Triumph. After the 2011-12 season, the Triumph will then become one of the teams in the LFL's Canadian league that plans to start with six teams in 2012. Calgary, Edmonton, Hamilton, Montreal, Ottawa, Saskatoon, and Winnipeg are under consideration as the other Canadian markets.
Southern Indoor Football League: The SIFL had problems with its Mobile Bay Tarpons and Fayetteville (NC) Force franchises this past week. Mobile Bay cancelled its game last weekend and the franchise folded after the owner left the team. Players on the Fayetteville Force had not been paid and there was a chance the team's season was over. The Fayetteville owner, who also owns the league's Trenton Steel franchise and is trying to find local ownership for the Force, eventually addressed issues with the player payments.
Indoor Championship Football League: The new ICFL announced that a team called the Delshore Riptide will be part of the league's inaugural season in December 2011. The league will play through March with teams based in the Mid-Atlantic area. Some other teams associated with the ICFL include the Delmarva Bayriders, Baltimore Bombers, Metro Nemesis, and Virginia Spartans.
