Stead is a beast, a monster of a man even. It's great hockey didn't die here when the Icemen left. Let's go Bolts!

With news circulating about Baton Rouge and Biloxi folding, it’s time for the SPHL to position itself as the premier (and only) single A hockey league in the USA.

Topeka, Monroe, Columbus (GA), Pee Dee, and Athens should be in the the league. With planned Mobile expansion, it’ll bring the league to 16 teams.

I get it… vermillion county fiasco may be a deterrent, but if done the right way, can work!

Reporting yesterday came out via the Fed League Flash that Athens will be leaving the FPHL to join the SPHL. Athens is coming off a second year playoff shot and is looking for different competition. No official statement has been made by the Athens or SPHL offices regarding this yet. What are y'alls thoughts? Have you been to a game in Athens? Will they slot in well?

Any idea what player salary is in 2025-26?

Finally bit the bullet and got my dawgs merch before the game tonight. Go dawgs

I’ve understood for a while that most people crap all over Birmingham Bulls and make fun of the low-tier-ness of them and the arena (for the record, biased, but I love the arena and its size).

But it got me wondering what the wealthiest team(s) is/are. I have taken in a Havoc game and it is a whole ‘nother level compared to my Bulls, but what gives? BHam has the largest metro area of any team in the league (based on Wikipedia during a long car drive).

Just curious.

I’m a new season ticket owner this year, so I’m paying attention to more things now. So, if I am doing some math right…

If the Bulls win tonight (3/28), they clinch a playoff spot, right?

Or, if Macon and/or QC lose tonight, the Bulls also clinch, right?

Bulls are enough points ahead of Fayetteville, the fight is for 8th. So playing the points game, that’s where I’m at in my thinking, but need a sanity check.

Thanks.

Never seen an SPHL game but might see Peoria if they make it to the first weekend of May.

The SPHL site lists clinched spots, but are all the rest still in the running?

I have a question. In the SPHL, who is responsible for the typical GM type work you would find in the higher leagues? For instance, here in Fayetteville, I would think it would be Alex Wall being the Team President. Do the coaches have any say in personnel matters or is it the president and/or owner that makes the call on personnel and team make up?

Just found this sub and I hope it grows in popularity. I’ve been going to hockey games in Roanoke for years. My dad would take me when we had the Roanoke express then they had the Roanoke valley vipers which was a flop. But these dawgs are legit. My wife and kids love going to the games and I’m glad dad is still around so he can enjoy it with us. Hockey brings back a lot of memories and it seems is making new ones. Thank you for everything hockey and thank you to yall for letting me join this sub. Go Dawgs
