It's the SPHL. They aren't good at hockey, and they aren't good at most things that go with running a professional hockey league.
But - BUT - they're still better than the Fed!

Apparently, they still couldn't afford paragraphs in the press release.
The clown show continues.

The league "realised" its name doesn't fit its footprint anymore and will now be known solely by its acronym.

To be regionally accurate, they "realiZed" their oversight in this matter. They don't plan to stop using Zeds until they expand to Canada. That's their 30th Anniversary plan.

The man, the myth, the legend of the UHL's Missouri River Otters! He's improved his lot in life a little bit since then.

And similar to how everyone still calls the ECHL "the coast" 20 years after the name change, the SPHL will continue to be called the Southern Pro Hockey League for the next 20+ years if they make it.

LOL. I once worked with a guy who told me he played a few games in net for the Knoxville IceBears. I looked for him on hockeydb and he wasn't there. I have wondered ever since, why would someone lie about playing in the SPHL instead of making it a cool lie.

Many hockey players are pathological liars. That's what makes them such natural HFBoards posters.

It's like they don't know those sites exist.
It's somewhere between tragically funny and pathetic. Having worked in both sports and journalism, I know where to look. People make these claims to have played somewhere, and I look them up. I once had an off-ice official tell me he was a middle infielder in the Baltimore Orioles organization. He wasn't. Several people have made claims about playing pro hockey. They didn't. The fiancee of a law school classmate told me he played on the PGA Tour. She believed him. I didn't, and I looked him up, and he had made a couple of starts... on the Hooters Tour.
