Salem Stampede Will Return in 2009
The Salem Stampede will be sitting out the 2008 International Basketball League (IBL) season and returning in 2009.  "This is strictly a business move.  We are very excited to be in the league and are committed to continuing to provide a great family product to the City of Salem," said team owner Anthony Veliz.  "We feel we are taking the correct steps to maintain our goal of being a quality organization,” he added.  The league allows its teams to sit out one year if requested.

The Stampede remain a franchise in the league and are set to tip off during the 2009 season.  The Stampede won the 2007 Southwest division championship and finished with an overall record of 19-4. The best in the IBL.  “I think we opened some eyes last year with our division title,” said Veliz.
  
The IBL is strong and gaining in popularity.  The IBL has begun its campaign to expand into several Asian markets including China, Japan, South Korea, and the Philippines.  In fact, teams are being added internationally from Canada and China for the 2008 Season with more to come in 2009 when the Salem Stampede returns to action.
 
“We have some great things planned for the franchise that I know our fans will be excited to hear about, said Veliz.  The Stampede will continue to have a competitive team with familiar and fresh faces along with its dance team.  “We will also be conducting a competition to help us create and name a team mascot later this year,” added Veliz.  One exciting possibility is that the Salem Stampede will return for its third season in its own home venue.

The Salem Stampede wishes to thanks its loyal fans and sponsors for their continued support and dedication to the team.  The Stampede promises the City of Salem and its fans to return a stronger franchise in 2009.  “Our fans should feel very confident that their Salem Stampede will return with a great product for all to enjoy,” said Veliz.
