Chuck Hoyle is a firefighter who was recently injured on the job. He is also the owner of the Marion Rhinos. In the last few months, the Rhinos have faced the challenges that so many young semi-pro teams have to deal with. The Rhinos do not have huge numbers and even some coaches have lost faith and have moved on; however, Chuck Hoyle is just as determined as a team owner as he is risking his life as a firefighter. Many teams have questioned the Rhinos’ ability to compete in the IAFL this season, and while it is not determined at what level they may compete, they will most definitely show up.
Chuck has announced the addition of a new co-owner, that will be named at a later date, and the Rhinos will continue on and plan to compete for the Rapture Division title. While the Rhinos may not be ready to compete for the IAFL Championship this season, we fully expect them to return next year improved and on a mission.
