Mississippi Surge News Release
Mississippi Surge fans have spoken and they like the name Surge.
As the result of a recent month long fan survey on the team name, the Southern Professional Hockey League team will continue to be the Mississippi Surge.
"We had some comments in our town hall meetings about the team name, so wanted to survey our fans and get their thoughts," team president Katy Waugh said. "the majority of the responses were in favor of keeping the Surge name."
