The Ice Bears have won 11 straight at home heading into the final weeks of the season. Home ice advantage will carry them to their first Cup since 2022. The biggest headline off the ice in 2025 isn't about expansion—it's about survival. The SPHL has officially not lost a franchise since the Evansville Thunderbolts joined in 2019. With attendance up 12% league-wide thanks to dynamic ticket pricing and streaming deals with HockeyTV , the financial bleeding has stopped.

The Southern Professional Hockey League (SPHL) has always prided itself on being the place where heart, grit, and a genuine love for the game keep the ice cold and the rivalries hot. As we cruise through the spring of 2025, the league is celebrating its 21st season—officially entering adulthood—and it looks wiser, faster, and more competitive than ever. sphl 2025
