"With special promotions and great hockey, we are looking forward to packing the arenas in the New Year." Waronker said. "We are excited about our Inaugural All-Star Game in Jacksonville on January 27 and the playoff rush in early April."
The WHA2 has six member teams for the 2003 â 2004 season: the Alabama Slammers, Jacksonville Barracudas, Lakeland Loggerheads, Macon Trax, Miami Manatees, and Orlando Seals. Each team will play a 60-game schedule. Every game will be broadcast on www.irn.fm.
