The Louisiana IceGators are a team of the Southern Professional Hockey League to begin play for the 2009-10 season. Like the original IceGators which played from 1995 until folding in 2005, they are based out of Lafayette, Louisiana. Unlike the original team, however, home games will be played at the Blackham Coliseum rather than the Cajundome.

The new IceGators will be owned by local businessman Danny Smith, and their head coach will be Ron Handy, who was a member of the original IceGators team that hit the ice in 1995-96

Sucks about the Cajundome, but that doesn't mean they won't kick some arse.

This seems like a downgrade from the ECHL.

Maybe we can go to the local frozen pond for a pick up game after the Icegators play. Eh.

The people who run the cajundome are getting ready to run it into the ground. They overcharge everyone who wants to hold events in there. That is one of the reasons the icegators folded because of the rent they had to pay the cajundome. One of the main reasons lafayette doesn't get more concerts and shows.

The games in the late 90's were SICK. The dome was packed every night; I had season tickets.

What really sucks is that it was because of the Icegators that the Cajundome could get out of the red. That is a very poorly run business.

It is. The ECHL is AA, this league is A.

I am wondering if they are going to possibly use any part of the ice rink/cooling system from the Cajundome.
