Pour one out for the Seibu Prince Rabbits: they officially folded (hat tip: Greatest Hockey Legends). It's certainly sad that instead of being an "introduction" to Japanese hockey, Chris Kontos' great fly-on-the-wall piece may instead be more like a solemn goodbye.

We're just going to hold out hope that this is a cruel April Fool's Day joke.
