  • This was a pretty insane situation from the SPHL, when the Vermillion County Bobcats simply didn't show up for their game. We'll talk aou tall that and more on today's hockey video!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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 remember when my town had the Mississippi Riverkings, had a good run and the games were fun. Wish I still had them around.

    Been to a few SPHL games near where I live, and formerly shared the arena with one of the southernmost NCAA D1 hockey programs (Alabama-Huntsville Chargers, you can thank them for Cam Talbot, Eck) and it is a fun local experience and the closest hockey to me. Also because of my major in college (Sports Management with a Comm minor) I have been looking for jobs in the Huntsville area with them and they pretty much told me that they have a skeleton crew of 7 running the team operations in the offseason.
