SPHL New Teams
Looks like there will be some new teams in the league next year. Now lets just hope that we can keep the teams that we have already.

I hope you are right! It looks like the Seals have been pulling more fans recently and PD has new owners, but I'm not sure if Jax will stick around next year. Their attendance is weak and their rent is crazy. If Richmond jumps in along with one other team (Pensacola???), a strong eight team league would be nice.

The farthest west you get in this league is Huntsville, AL and Knoxville, TN.spider wrote:What about teams in Missouri? I know of a couple of places that would work well for hockey.
What kind of seating caps are they looking at?
Travel costs alone make any Missouri team a non-starter.

This league (NIFL) is like a frickin' cockroach. You could throw a nuclear bomb at it and it would still survive

So I'd rather spend a quarter of an ABA franchise to repair my car, as opposed to spending a franchise and a half to get a new car that might have some planned obsolescence that causes it to break down 5 days after the end of the warranty period.

2.The league wont be that size for about 5-10 more years.
Memphis?
Memphis already has a hockey team, although they play in Northern MS, just outside of Memphis. I don't think the area could support two hockey teams. One, or both, would suffer probably. I could be wrong, but who knows. The Riverkings (or Riverqueens as we like to call them in Bug country) are in the Central Hockey League.
