 No WHA franchise apparently attempted to field a roster for the scheduled start of the 2008-2009 season, and no games were ever played.The last post to the league's website was on September 15, 2008 - which as of July 2009 was shut down for lack of payment - addressing the possible suspension by Hockey Canada of any player suiting up for a WHA team.On January 16, 2009, the WHA was successfully sued by Global Developments Inc. for US$4.3 Million in losses in a District of Nevada courtroom for purposely diluting the worth of Global's interest in the company.
