What Happened to Them?
The Sandsharks withdrew from the CISL after the 1997 season. Because of legal issues reguarding the franchise and the nickname (the CISL claimed the rights to all nicknames and logos except the Sidekicks under the ownership structure of the league), the club officially folded and was re-founded as the Arizona Thunder for the 1998 season.
