Lockport Express Letter to the City of Lockport
To the City of Lockport, Mayor Anne McCaffrey, the Grigg-Lewis Foundation, and the fans of the Lockport Express;
It is with a heavy heart that the Lockport Express bids farewell to the city of Lockport and the fans that have supported us over the past three seasons. The decision to move to the Hyde Park Arena in Niagara Falls was purely a business decision and is not in any way a statement against the wonderful people who call Lockport their home.
Lockport Express Leaving Cornerstone Arena
For three years, the Lockport Express called Cornerstone Ice
Arena in downtown Lockport home. Now, the team will be moving to the Hyde Park
Ice Arena in Niagara Falls, and changing their name. The new name is still undetermined.
