I've NEVER seen a hockey game end like this

Quick note on the Sarah Ayres tweet, it was made in reference to David Ayres allegedly emotionally abusing her, and their eventual separation. That tweet isn't about David Ayres, it's a personal tweet.

It’s really cool that the players just scored a single goal and then invited fans and such to skate with them

I used to live in Peoria, IL, where the Peoria Rivermen, a former AHL team, play in the SPHL. They get a decent turnout, but when you share a huge arena/venue/b-ball court, the hockey games aren’t the ones that bring in the cash. One of my friends recently told me that the owner of the arena is trying to kick them out, but they won’t leave. I’m glad they’re hanging on cuz, as a kid, I fell in love with hockey after watching one of their games.

LeBron said a bad word.

Bobcats is (was) my hometown team. It’s been a shit show from the start. Ellen (the owner) was having continuous relations with players which is a big no no but she doesn’t care about the image this puts out. She wasn’t paying players, staff, or really anyone. We have local pick up at the rink during week nights and there were times when the bobcats equipment manager would be at the rink talking about how he hasn’t gotten paid in the last month. And he wasn’t the first one that had this problem. It just sucks because hockey in the VC is finally getting some publicity but it’s not the attention we want. This area has a real possibility of getting a good hockey following. We had standing room only games for our old NAHL team we had. I’ve been saying for years we need to go back to a junior team in the barn. It’s just really upsetting how this has all turned out. Especially because a bunch of buddies and I called this happening over a year ago. Sad days for VC hockey. Hoping we can bounce back and be better. If I had the money and the resources I would just buy this dumpster fire and turn it around because I would love nothing more than hockey to be popular again in this area.

SPHL! My nephew just started to play down there for Evansville.

You have no idea how cool SPHL coverage means to me as a Peoria Rivermen fan. The skill level is no where near ECHL but some of the unusual moments are awesome. If you get more of an opportunity, coverage of this leaguewould be awesome, even if it’s just a few videos here and there.

Shoutout to ECK covering the sphl and fed

Thank you for using a clip of the Ice Flyers while going over what the SPHL was. It was great seeing recognizable names of the team that really got me into hockey, and I swear they're one of the only reasons I still live in this state.

I have a local SPHL team from my hometown. We hate to see this happen but the writing has been on the walls for a long time. Not only is this team in total jeopardy, but last year's cup winner (Peoria Rivermen) is in jeapordy due to their arena not wanting to put up the money for necessary ice maintaince. I worry about the direction the SPHL is going.

I work as an off-ice official in the Quad Cities. This whole situation really stinks. Everyone hates to see a community lose their hockey team and the way this one is being handled is terrible. Dave is pretty spot on with everything he said. Hoping to see something from the league this week.

this is surprising because their captain said the team had a buyer from florida lol

I think I found your channel randomly and I accidentally became hooked to your content 😂

So glad to see someone cover this! Big SPHL fan, watching this online live was WILD

The SPHL is alive and well in Roanoke! We pack the house every week. Love to see you covering not only the NHL, but other leagues as well. Keep it up man!

Plot of Shoresy season 1

Moved to Alabama from the State of Hockey, and quickly became an avid fan of the Birmingham Bulls. Never thought I’d see the day the SPHL was covered on this channel, but I’m so glad it was! Love videos like these that highlight some of the lesser known leagues and players. Keep up the great work!

I’m from the quad cities!!! Used to be called the mallards with in amazing logo.. sad times

Damn idk how I found your channel but I’ve been watching every video you upload since. Great work on every vid!!

shoutout to the season ticket holder being a loyal fan. He deserves better!
