RiverHawks Forgo 2011 Season in Preparation of Move to Coeur d’Alene

The RiverHawks will not be participating in the 2011 West Coast League season to focus instead on solidifying the details of the team’s upcoming move to Coeur d’Alene, Idaho.

“The plans are moving along, but there are still some variables in regards to the move that need to be ironed out,” said Irv Zakheim, owner of the RiverHawks.

Zakheim said that one of the major factors that needs to be solidified before the plans can move forward is the acquisition of the land that will house a stadium and offices of the RiverHawks. 

“Taking this time off will allow us to devote more attention to getting the land that will be the RiverHawks’ future home and ensuring a smooth transition to Coeur d’Alene,” he said.
