A month after opening offices and three months before it was to participate in the inaugural season of the Continental Indoor Soccer League, the Anaheim franchise is closing shop. The club could not come to terms on a lease with the Anaheim Arena. Brad Mayne, general manager of Ogden Corp., operator of the arena, said he was informed Wednesday the team will not play a 1993 schedule.
