GoPre Posted July 13, 2021 Report Share Posted July 13, 2021 A relatively pointless, middle of summer post.... 😂 Tomorrow, a conference is being held in Biloxi, Mississippi to announce the hosting of three minor league games for the 2021-22 season. The hope is a new franchise will be set for Biloxi in 2022. People are being asked to attend the conference in NHL jerseys. I’m excited hockey may be coming back to the coast. Biloxi hasn’t had a team since 2014 with the Mississippi Surge. Prior to that, Biloxi had the Mississippi Seawolves. The team was fairly popular on the coast. Bruce Boudreaux was head coach when they won the Kelly Cup in 1999. Any how, debating what jersey I’ll wear to the conference. A home Eichel jersey from 2017, black goat jersey from 1999, or my own personalized home jersey from 2018. Considering not wearing an Eichel jersey due to things not looking so good for him and Buffalo. What do you guys think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A grown man shouldn't wear another mans name on his back. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PromoTheRobot Posted July 13, 2021 Report Share Posted July 13, 2021 (edited) Goatheads rule. I'm always amazed how well minor hockey does in some southern markets. I happen to have a collection of ECHL team jerseys: Macon Whoopee, Greenville Growl, Grand Rapids Griffins, New Orleans Brass, Manchester Monarchs, Cincinnati Cyclones.

jsb Posted July 13, 2021 Report Share Posted July 13, 2021 I have a #90 ROR jersey, a #15 Eichel jersey, I've been requested by Risto's agent to buy a #55 and they would pay 50%. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pastajoe Posted July 13, 2021 Report Share Posted July 13, 2021 I never get jerseys with active player’s names on them. They often let you down or move on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I very well may have seen your friend play. I lived in Winston-Salem (NC) then and was a big Polar Twins fan. The Polar Twins wore all yellow at home: jerseys, pants and socks - all yellow, and they looked pretty cool! There were apparently no limits on stick curves in that league also. I was too young to get the Macon Whoopee underlying reference, but who cares? It was a blast! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoPre Posted July 14, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2021 Alright people - Thanks again for the suggestions of what jersey to wear! I went this afternoon to the conference. It’s exciting Biloxi might be getting a hockey team again. Here’s a pic of me in a goat head jersey. Figured I’d show a pic of me being the only person there w/ a Sabres jersey on!! 😂 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
