re: BR Hockey - Game 3 SOLD OUT!!!

On the MS Coast the Sea Wolves (team that has been playing in BR) has been doing quite well at the gate. As others have said before, it is extremely fun and relatively cheap for a family.

Hope BR can get the Kingfish back it looks like a definite, as this same thing happened for the Sea Wolves.

Currently the FPHL, which is the league putting on the exhibition has "southern" teams in Biloxi Sea Wolves, Winston Salem, and Columbus, GA. The old ECHL which is still around and what the Kingfish played in had/has teams in Savannah, Charleston, Jacksonville, Orlando, etc. The current ECHL is affiliated with the NHL/AHL so none of those teams or markets are probably going to be in this new league. Then there is the current SPHL, which has Southern hockey teams in Pensacola (Ice Flyers), Huntsville, Fayetteville, NC and Birmingham. They used to have teams in Lafayette, Tupelo/Southhaven, and Macon.

If they could make a league of:
Baton Rouge
Biloxi
Lafayette
Pensacola
Birmingham
Tupelo
Huntsville

Then
Fayetteville, NC
Winston-Salem
Columbus
Macon
Charleston
Savannah
Orlando

Then that would be really appealing to the greater "SEC" footprint. The two current leagues are in much better shape than the leagues that folded and even survived the pandemic so hope it happens.
