Unable to reach a new lease agreement with the Florence Civic Center, the Cyclones relocated Winston-Salem for the 2007–08 season.[1][2] Two seasons later, on March 31, 2009, the Cyclones ceased operations, citing the American economic downturn as a reason for their folding.[3]
In 2010, the Kerzners, the former owners of the folded Cyclones, were granted another expansion franchise in the Augusta RiverHawks.[4]
