No.. I'm pretty sure anyone with half a brain cell can look at the Pensacola Ice Flyers logo, and the last Mississippi Surge logo and realize that they were both made by the same designer. Very similar wordmarks.
Mississippi Seawolves returning to ECHL based on trademark filings.

Former Ice Flyers staffer here. The logo may have been inspired by the Ice Flyers' wordmark but that's it. The coloring on the letters was a big trend around that time. A dead giveaway is the execution of the logo. You're trying to tell me the person who did a well-executed shield and jet is the same person who did a blob of a shield and aimless lightning bolts? Also, a professional designer wouldn't use practically the same font for a team in the same league, much less one that's two hours down the road.

Hey RuZZia - Cut Your Losses and Go Home.
"This isn't what I signed up for" is something nearly every minor league staffer says to themselves, usually within the first couple of months. The abuse of staffers by incompetent owners and GMs is pervasive in the industry, and then fans/GMs/etc. will tell you that you should just accept it, you know, because, "you're living your dream."
Bes was such a competent coach, I could hardly believe his genius wouldn't extend to a successful tenure in the front office! (sarcasm)

Wonder if they'll really play. Fans watching exhibition hockey is just one tent pole needed to prop up a permanent circus.

They're already further along than Bloomington Illinois. At least there was an exhibition game actually played in Biloxi

FACT CHECK: Awright, so the 3rd scheduled FPHL exhibition featuring Port Huron & Danville @ Grossinger Motors Arena in Bloomington, IL on March 21st, 2020 was indeed cancelled due to ... well, you know, double-check that date ... . But are you saying further that the two games between Carolina & Danbury that me 'n' Mrs. JMC attended in Bloomy on a bitter cold weekend in early January 2020 were all just a bad dream? OK, so maybe that's not the right way to put it with The Fed & The BLH Boyz involved, but still.

Whoops I thought it was just the one game that was canceled that was scheduled there in Bloomington.

Nothing is official yet. Despite the highly misleading article titles, Biloxi hasn't been officially been given anything other than those neutral-site games.

Are you saying that Biloxi is joining the Western Professional Hockey League?

Hey RuZZia - Cut Your Losses and Go Home.
We'll see how they do when they have to go up against shitty arena dates and the novelty has again worn off. It's easy enough to draw 7,000 for a couple of one-off games on weekend nights when the market hasn't seen hockey in years. It's quite another to have to polish the turd that is the FPHL over and over again and sell tickets to yet another game against Columbus on a Thursday night in January.

I was wondering the same. A quick look at the schedule reveals 12 weeknight games total for the entire league year.

They don't, typically, but the Mississippi Coast Coliseum will undoubtedly force them into a few. It's a 9,300 seat building run by a public commission that is well known to be on the take. The building will continue to get concerts and other things on weekends that'll push hockey games to less than prime time as much as possible.
