the ice gators used to sell out every game and were the talk of the town for a couple of years. The games were great.

i mean i have not lived there for the last 3 years but looking at their website the arena is still rocking. but you gotta understand, the everblades are the only decent sports team within 2 hours of ft.myers, so EVERYONE supports them. i hate every florida athletics team with a passion except the blades, if they make the kelly cup this year i am taking a road trip

Dude...you would have loved it here about 10 years ago. The ECHL had an I-10 corridor...there were teams in Lafayette, Baton Rouge, New Orleans, Jackson, Biloxi, Mobile, Pensacola, and Tallahassee, and all did pretty well. The IceGators were the crown jewel...they did average well over 10,000 for quite a few years. But as mentioned earlier, the fad died, and all of the teams disappeared.

the famous Louisiana Icegators Intro for the last time.

I remember when the Icegators were in first place.
He use to say. The opponents team first and then "And your 1st place Louisiana Icegators."
Good times :(

That was the reason why all the teams didn't last here...they weren't hockey fans, they just wanted to go to games to drink beer and watch the players beat the shite out of each other.

complete opposite of ft.myers. since the blades were our only sports team everyone embraced them. getting tickets to the kelly cup was like getting tickets to the national championship last year. i just got lucky enough to get a good spot camping out but then we blew the series Posted on 1/6/09 at 2:15 am to LSUandSaints

I remember all those names...as a Kingfish fan, I thought all the IceGators were a bunch of punks (which they were).

Oh man. The glory days. I was young and loved hockey. I still have my black IceGators jersey.

At my folk's house...they still have a cup in the cabinet from one of those games.
