Needs to be less if they actually want people to go once we get a team.

I love this thread as a northern boy. 4 pages on the MSB for minor league hockey. Awesome.

Leaving tomorrow morning for the Twin Cities for a weekend of Junior hockey myself.

Support this team boys. It'll be fun.

What happened on the final play? Why did Carolina have their goalie pulled in overtime?

ETA: Nvm. Carolina pulled their goalie because it was an exhibition game and they probably just wanted the game to end quicker.

I was there and didn’t hear the final statement, but they announced 6k+ tickets sold.

Do that two more times and we’ll have hockey here again.

As someone who loves hockey, I loved the amount of people (both drunk 20s trying to learn the sport and kids) that the FPHL officials were reaching out to in order to make it special. Giving pucks like candy, really seeming to enjoy the prospects of pushing this game into LA.

We were also first row near the statisticians table and those dudes were awesome.

We left before free hockey occurred, but I think that was enough to get word out and ensure a team here for at least a few years.

Sorry for the double post, but those concessions may have actually been worse than Aramark or whatever at LSU sports. Like… wow.

We are already listed on their website as a future market, along with a team in Virginia.

Thanks for the heads up. Someone behind us had mentioned this, but we had three young kids with us so I didn’t check.

Kinda sounds like the Kingfish are back, baws!

Was at the game tonight. Great environment. I think if we had a team to cheer for with Baton Rouge across their jerseys, it would have been a even more wild environment. People were just taking it in and it was very nice to see it back in the River Center. My only complaint is how hot it was in the arena, but I think with a team in BR, they’ll make some upgrades to the facility.

Sea Wolves snap a 9 game losing streak. Not saying it’s because of the BR crowd but it was because of the BR crowd.

Maybe Condon could get Cam Brown on every Friday Morning on the Eagle to talk a little Kingfish hockey.

Bring back some nostalgia!!!

I would think Mississippi would be our rival or at least in our division so shouldn’t we root against them?

I've never seen that since they went to 4 on 4 in OT. It almost worked. I don't think the Sea Wolves expected that and were on their heels.

Bit Carolina in the arse in the end. Nice finish.

Great night.

Great night with the family and had zero issues getting in. Took maybe 5 minutes once we actually got in line. My daughter got a puck and thought it was the coolest thing ever

I hope this works out. Loved it

I think the issue with the line was because the organizers didn’t understand that Baton Rouge people are conditioned to enter the building from the upper or lower part of the river side of the arena.

We have no conception of entering from the St Louis Street side because we haven’t had a reason to go the the place since they redid that area. Unless you’re a serious amateur bowler that is.

St. Louis side is exactly where we entered

You’re absolutely right

Seating configuration blows. Front row seats aren’t on the glass.
