It will never happen but if LSU had an NCAA-recognized ice hockey team, I'd go to those games. Alabama-Huntsville has a team, albeit the only one in the South.

GO FISH GO

Me and a bud went to a couple of Mississippi Sea Wolves games three or four when they were still around and in the ECHL. The Sea Wolves were the last I-10 southern ECHL team around.

There used to be teams in Lafayette, Baton Rouge, New Orleans, Gulfport, Mobile, Pensacola, and Tallahassee. The 90s were a great time to be alive.

Things I remember from Kingfish games:

Cotton Eyed Joe
Closest to the pin puck toss
The blimp that flew around and dropped Picadilly coupons
Cam Brown
Mardi Gras uniforms
The spotlights
Them losing
Being stuck in traffic in the Centroplex parking garage for hours after the game

I used to love Kingfish hockey games. Too bad they moved to Canada and became the Salmon Kings

BRING BACK THE FISH!

But seriously, I asked Mayor Holden this months ago and he said the River Center doesn't fit certain standards anymore.

Hockey is a hell of a lot more entertaining in person, and I have the Kingfish to thank for that observation.

Bring back the Kingfish and I'll buy season tickets on the glass.

ETA - Try to make it ECHL quality at least, SPHL sucks even if it did spawn Scott Darling of the Chicago Blackhawks.

You think people in Pensacola cared about hockey before they got a team?

There's a lot of things that would be fun to have in Baton Rouge. Hockey isn't one of them.
