The Jackson Bandits
Jan 17 2010

Thought about the since-moved ECHL team while watching hockey over the weekend.

They were alot of fun to watch, weren’t they? Still remember during our freshmen year at MC how they sold out (~6,500 seats) multiple weekend games during their inaugural year. Ahhhh, hockey in the South. People show up for fights on the ice and cheap beer in the stands, only to have their team moved after 3 years because we are confused about the rules, and get bored after the 2nd Period (1,139 in attendance at their last game).

In any case… I miss them, and Jackson was a better city with them.
