What players say...

"I'd say Jacksonville was my favorite pro team to play with. The camaraderie we had among our team it that room was tight. Memorial Arena is as packed as it can get it the Coast. Outside of hockey, just so much to do in Florida from sitting by the pool, dining outside, and enjoying beaches there on the Atlantic Ocean."

Off The Ice in Jacksonville, Florida

Jacksonville sits on the Atlantic Ocean and has miles upon miles of quality beaches, family fun, and entertainment. Though it's not the first destination that always comes to mind when people think of Florida, it's certainly a great place to live year round (and travel to).

Interesting Facts

Rumor has it that underneath the streets of downtown Jacksonville, there's actually a network of underground tunnels that dates back over 100+ years. How much is urban legend and how much is real? We don't really know. We're just sharing it because we found it interesting and a couple Icemen who played there said that they went on a tour once that was mentioning the supposed history of it which is interesting in and of itself.
