Love the Ford Center in Evansville. Live about an hour from there and used to be a season ticket holder (before kids)….still go to a handful every year

[@tiff-fil-a955]

That's really cool all the teams of the sphl are on there

[@SuperMCModder]

Just visited the Knoxville ice bears arena and Bridgestone arena in Nashville today!

[@duncanstratton903]

I don't know if anyone has told you anything about the Berglund Center or not, but the stadium was built back in the late 80s and was known as the Roanoke Civic Center, to make way for then Roanoke Express of the ECHL. The team made some runs to the playoffs but never did much after making the playoffs, in 2003 the left making way for the WCHL to be swallowed up by the ECHL. In 2005 the Roanoke Valley Vipers of the UHL came into town but only lasted one season. Since then the stadium was rented out by Virginia Tech for their hockey program and for the Roanoke Youth Hockey Association of the Carolina Hockey League. Just recently in 2016 the Roanoke Rail Yard Dawgs were placed for the SPHL.

[@bradvan316]

The outside of the Birmingham Bulls arena looks like a public library.

[@kurtreed780]

I miss the old Peoria Rivermen logo Ive been to multiple games over throughout my 29yrs of life. They do ever once in a while bring back Retro night and wear the old jerseys. Favorite former player Ben Bishop

[@SlatDogg]

I used to live in Blacksburg Va, which was not too far from Roanoke. The Berglund Center, formerly known as the Roanoke Civic Center, is a somewhat older arena which was recently renovated. There has been talks to build a designated hockey arena in Roanoke (the ice rink is only a secondary feature of the Berglund Center). The Roanoke Rail Yard Dawgs (not really a fan of the name) is a relatively new team, however Roanoke used to be home of the Roanoke Express of the ECHL (The most successful and popular hockey team of Roanoke, unfortunately run into the ground by less than stellar management) and the shortly lived (1 season) Roanoke Valley Vipers of the UHL. Virginia Tech's club hockey team also plays at the Berglund (which are pictured in this video, wearing the orange uniforms) and every year regional police and firefighters play a charity game which is popular among the locals.

[@johnmiller4973]

Ford Centre in Evansville was a former ECHL arena

[@marvinjohnson7523]

Hello From Peoria Illinois the home of the reigning and defending SPHL champions my Peoria Rivermen

[@kayleemckinney1446]

I was born in Roanoke and I love the Dawgs I Go to all the games except away m6 fav player is Spencer Kennedy (in my opinion) Thank you so much for looking at our rink!

[@JILL0704USA]

Wait til you guys see the arena for the SPHL team coming to the Quad Cities! Gorgeous arena, NHL level ice rink and locker rooms. The Taxslayer Center in Moline, Illinois.

[@ZeroHayabusa21]

The Pelham Civic Complex is actually a great arena. The Bulls actually share the arena with the University of Alabama Hockey team in the ACHA- American College Hockey Association

[@iranwitastixx4996]

We are season ticket holders of the Fayetteville marksmen and the Fayetteville fireantz before the bacame marksmen but all these years I have never seen that and I think that they would just be blocking of seats because we usually only take that first section around the ice so that's probably what that is

[@gavingayle1945]

The peoria civic center (Rivermen) is actually a multi purpose venue. It has a theater, convention areas, the arena, exhibit halls, meeting rooms etc. So it isnt just the arena. so thats probably why it gives more office vibes, kinda feels the same way inside too haha.

[@JDavis0017]

I love seeing these videos about the SPHL. I’m from East Tennessee so the ice bears are my closest team I love going to these games and watching this league.

[@DLlover15]

I’m not sure where you guys got the picture for the Pensacola bay center but it looks like a pic i took! Haha. Longtime channel viewer and Ice flyers fan here !

[@seanleeper5199]

[@Danielboone199]

Was born and raised in Fayetteville NC ( unfortunately ) and the logo isn't because we hunt foxes lol. They are called the Marksmen because of Fort Bragg which is close by. The fox is there I THINK because we have a large amount of red foxes I'm not sure tho. I prefer the Fayetteville Fireantz personally. The logo was cool and a cooler name IMO.

[@Wheeloffortunefan999]

Assuming that you stil live there and still go to home games when you get an opportunity, when they do kids nights, are the kids who bring those plastic horns (the ones that were heard nonstop during the world cup in south africa, I am not one hundred percent sure which year that one was though, but I believe the year was 2010 still invited to go onto the ice and blow hem as loud as they can? and also, do you recall when that promotion was introduced?

[@nightshadegamingyt5931]

Ah yes I remember when they where the Fireantz. Best team ever

[@bernadettestclair9885]

I got my blades replaced at the Birmingham ice rink

[@thundertv1431]

before they became the Jacksonville Icemen, they were the Evansville Icemen and the Ford center is where they use to play.

[@idontwantahandle2]

R.i.p Columbus Cottonmouths

[@prilljazzatlanta5070]

Chris Haines i grew up going to cottonmouth games. Go snakes go!!!

[@jamesmcbrayer3827]

I live in Knoxville and just watched an ice bears game recently

[@wyattmueller4148]

James McBrayer My dad played there in college at UT

[@mccouscous1761]

The picture for the outside of the Knoxville Civic Coliseum is actually the entrance to the auditorium side

[@ttvlimitedtime9497]

Well that brimmingham bulls for ya

[@chicagobh4]

Those banners from the rivermen are the old ihl championships before they went to the ahl

[@PeytonV21]

Knoxville is old but it is a kickass place to watch a game

[@PeytonV21]

@Your boy you replied to a comment from 2 years ago. Fuck off

[@broadwayblueshirts6160]

Cool video, I love seeing the inside of other arena's.

[@Cynical_Otter]

The Ford Center in Evansville is a beautiful building. It holds 9,000 for hockey games. Go Thunderbolts!!

[@meaarrington1563]

havoc love in the house

[@camerontheile5620]

I just want to state that I had no idea what the SPHL was before this. So, thanks for that guys it is always cool to be introduced to new hockey leagues and teams. Keep up the great work

[@juliekoerber24]

Been waiting for this!

[@sophiadamen4869]

Evansville is actually very tiny inside just talking about the seating and they only have like 200 fans each game

[@bernadettestclair9885]

In the havoc ice rink I got popcorn pored on my head in the sweat

[@prilljazzatlanta5070]

pittsburg penguins the best i got beer poured on my head at a macon whoopee game years ago because i was rooting for columbus. Go snakes go!!!

[@jerrodwarren6668]

The Propst Arena did not used to be this modern. It was remolded around 2008. A full service bar and ice sweets. About to undergo a even better remodel.

[@andrewcastonia6543]

You should do a video on USHL arenas.

[@vicvegas07]

Just a bit of a note on the Berglund Center, that is an old picture from a Virginia Tech game from before the Rail Yard Dawgs called this home (no RYD logo at center ice). There have been numerous upgrades to the arena, Including a new scoreboard, new seats and some added floor seating.

[@Tarv1]

Knoxville Civic Coliseum was opened in 1961, it may be old but I still enjoy seeing games there, also of note Mississippi RiverKings used to be the Memphis RiverKings and had played in the Mid-South Coliseum there until it closed. It was there the first time I got to see Hockey

[@bennybolin7916]

awesome vid guys! ive been super busy the last couple of days so this is a great time to catch up on some videos! Plz keep it up!

[@Post2Post]

Thanks for spending your free time with us!

[@juliewilliamson8003]

I wish that my Louisiana Icegators was still in the league,Would love their opinion on the Cajundome.

[@gocalebs5789]

As a Huntsville Havoc fan love when you guys look at the sphl. And see what you guys think of our team

[@antimathius]

See a Mexican Wrestler in instead of a bull's head in the Birmingham Bulls logo. Now I can't unsee it.

[@blairrice]

My brother used to play for the Macon Trax, pretty cool to see the rink he played in.

[@tyleratkins100]

Hello from Huntsville, Alabama! Really cool to you guys giving my Huntsville Havoc and the SPHL some love. Love the channel guys. Keep up the good work!

[@awsomehog1]

I used to be able to see the landers center from my apartment complex. Back when the kings where in the CHL. I haven't been to a kings game in a few seasons

[@luc6544]

When Chris is in a video the world just makes sense.

[@malarkeyOW]

You go up in Huntsville not down lol and Huntsville holds the record for attendance we sell out nearly every game

[@lukenowlin4121]

I've been too the landers center twice

[@whallee99]

The Marksmen in Fayetteville is a military reference. Fayetteville is home to Fort Bragg, a huge US military base.

[@marbleracers5086]

Lets go marksmen

[@acehigh79]

The IHL logo for the Rivermen is the best they have ever had.

[@GTPx88]

Without question. I remember when they moved on from it - sad day.

[@pete3636]

Can you do one on big ten hockey arenas?

[@kfch8206]

we need visit all of them :-)

[@no_bitches0621]

The Columbus Jackets League. (The logo has the star thingy coming around)

[@treyhampton6834]

If you look up an aerial view of the Knoxville civic colosseum you’ll see that it’s like the American Airlines arena only instead it goes fully across the building

[@3picgamezsquadetroop636]

I’ve played at the river kings arena

[@recorderboi2232]

6:32 I guess that’s why it’s nickname is the hanger

centerplex got one nice thing for them a green metal roof

[@recorderboi2232]

The ice flyers might be getting a new arena and if we don’t the bay center will get a renovation

[@mccouscous1761]

Knoxville needs a new stadium, I love the Coliseum, but it's just not a hockey venue. The ice isn't even regulation size and the locker rooms leak when it's raining.

[@repentantgore9105]

I would like to see them move to tomson bowling arena

i miss my cottonmouths but im so thankful columbus ga has another hockey team. rooting on the columbus riverdragons in the fphl

[@jakeima]

Birmingham is a new team, and they’re based in a building with multiple rinks originally used for youth leagues and I’m assuming adult leagues as well.

[@laughinghyena2974]

Fayetteville’s old logo was better in my opinion I loved the fireantz

[@shelbycollier9709]

Me too. My family used to go to the Fireantz games quite often. They were very entertaining. The games now are just to stagnant and boring.

[@sportsgames2713]

Do the FHL next!
