Columbus Cottonmouths News Release


The Columbus Cottonmouths' potential first round opponents for the 2011-12 SPHL playoffs have been narrowed down to either the currently sixth-place Louisiana Ice Gators or seventh-place Mississippi RiverKings. The Cottonmouths, currently tied for second place with the Knoxville Ice Bears, can finish no lower than 3rd place, and have clinched home-ice advantage for at least round one of the playoffs. The SPHL playoffs will consist of the top eight teams and three, best-of-three series.
