The Return of The IceGators?

_ Here's the SPHL attendance numbers. It is a small league but designed to last in the fringe Southern markets. How much does Blackham hold? I've never been in there.

I wanna say it holds a little over 6k. But don't quote me on that.

I was always cool towards the Gators because I felt they competed for the entertainment dollar with the Cajun basketball team. I would not be as against it now however. Reason is the hockey team would have to pay rent to use Blackham which would go directly into university coffers. Blackham now does hold right at 6000 folks. Maybe they could put some chairbacks in there as well. This could not have been done in the past as the Cajun basketball team generally practiced at Blackham as they had to pay rent to use the Dome. Now, with the Indoor practice facility, basketball does not need Blackham.

6,000 sounds like it would be a good venue for this league and even better that UL owns it.

A win-win if you ask me. One question though. Would UL have to pay the initial cost to turn blackham into a hockey rink. I dont know the cost, but im sure it isnt cheap. As a former player, i know that alot goes into it.

Anyone has Ron Handy's e-mail? It is no longer on the Ragin Cajun website. I bet he could fill us in. I'm real excited about the prospect of Blackham turning into a hockey arena for the Cajuns and the new pro team. It think it would be awesome.

That's all we need... the Icegator-retreads! I, for one, haven't missed them and don't look forward to a second go round.
