I pulled how long each of the listed teams were active off TBA, along with any rookie awards or championship attendances they might have had.

Interestingly enough, two of the listed teams returned for the 2016 season. One was a 6 year veteran team that only took the 2015 season off, another was a one-and-done 2013 rookie that resurrected.

I don't have the data to match which factors affected which teams.
