Ouch, that's a good 100 miles, bro. There has to be something closer...isn't there an ECHL team in Pee Dee (area near Myrtle Beach)? The Fire Antz play in Fayetteville, near where I live. The team plays in a beautiful arena and it's usually a good crowd. Great place to watch a hockey game ;)

If still interested, more info on the Fire Antz can be found here:

I just assumed CF was closer because thats the one that came up when i typed in Wilmington ice hockey into Google. :+)

I'm a little spoiled here in Seattle. Arena is one 30 minute city bus ride from my apartment. $18 second row seats behind the glass. All division rivals within a 6 hour drive (although I don't so sometimes I don't make them all)

Yes, this is the worst part about NC. Youth hockey is slowly growing so maybe more rinks will pop up over the next few years ;) I kind of have it good because I live close enough to Raleigh & Fayetteville to watch pros play, and I can always go to Fort Bragg to play on their ice rink (when I do have the time...I haven't been in over a year).

Yeah Florence is 107 miles away but I guess the E would have a little better talent? It'll be a change no matter what. We have Junior A here so they are all 16-20 with bright futures. :+)

Do Canes games usually sell it? Im thinking about going on Dec 1st to see my Bruins. Should I plan way ahead?

The past years have been spotty, but I think the Bruins were always one of the teams the crowd might be better for. Alot of us don't care for Thornton...

I'd go ECHL before SPHL. There's Charlotte, South Carolina (Charleston), Columbia, and Pee Dee all in that area.

Yeah, but no team would even be remotely close but Pee Dee ;)
