Yes, hilarious that the guy got hurt while an employee, may have permanent brain damage, and likely will never be properly compensated for his injuries. It's all part of living your dream of playing professional hockey!

He can still count to green.

... I'm going to hell.

Mississippi Sea Wolves Release Head Coach Phil Esposito
November 28, 2022
by Sea Wolves Digital Media

Phil Esposito was fired as head coach of the Mississippi Sea Wolves on Monday, November 28th. Joe Pace Jr will be stepping into the role of head coach for the interim of the season, until a new coach can be found. All other staff will remain the same.

Esposito was the first coach in Federal Prospects Hockey League Mississippi Sea Wolves history. His record was 2-9-2, leaving the Sea Wolves last in the Continental Division of the FPHL. Previously, Esposito coached multiple teams in the Southern Professional Hockey League, as well as the FPHL.

“Mississippi has waited eight long years for hockey’s return to the Gulf Coast. They are a top-notch fan base who deserve a championship level product on the ice,” CEO and Director of Hockey Operations Joe Pace said in an interview. “Our organization is committed to do whatever it takes, and make whatever changes necessary, to accomplish that goal.” ...

With the change, Pace is hoping this will be the launching point for a fresh start. “We are open to this change and are looking forward to finding the right fit of coach for our team and our vision. The Sea Wolves aren’t planning on making any rash decisions with regards to leadership and are looking forward to bringing home a different atmosphere for our fans. We really do have the best fans in the league, and they have stuck by our side through this rough start of a season. We hope that this move shows them that we hear their concerns and are looking to bring them a brighter future in hockey.” ...

Esposito had to see this coming. He's in the easiest place to recruit players to come to in the league and he went 2-9-2. His tired old wannabe tough guy act doesn't work anymore.

This might be a stupid question, but what is the point structure for wins and OT/SO losses in the good ole' FPHL? For example, Columbus is 12-1-0 but has 35 points?

All stupid questions about the FPHL and its business practices must be submitted directly to the League offices. And even THEY may not have the answers.

On further review, maybe it's 3 points for a regulation W, and minus 1 point for a regulation L. Why would math lie?

 

[NEPA Ice]

3 points for a regulation win, two for an OT/SO win, and one for an OT/SO loss.

anyone ever heard the new league called the woshl? its based in Ontario canada and has some truly elite or former elite players particularly on the top teams.

have always loved FPHL... this new league however is more local to me and seems to have less dodgy transactions and rules

It's been mentioned ... Post in thread 'New Sr A. League, WOSHL starting up this Saturday'

New Sr A. League, WOSHL starting up this Saturday

Hey guys, didnt see this league yet listed so I figured I'd start a thread. The WOSHL (Western Ontario Super Hockey League) has its opening regular season games October 2nd 2021. A similar league to the WOAA if you know the Sr A scene, this league looks to be less of a goon league a bringing in...

Didn't know where to put this and didn't think it merited a thread but since the FPHL is something of a successor to the EPHL I'll put it here:

"Truly elite players" don't play in five letter leagues.

"Truly elite players" don't play in five letter leagues.

That's where the OP's "or former elite players" caveat kicks in to save the day.

Hearing that an FPHL team traveled by van/POV and played with only 11 players last week... and did so while a state of emergency was in effect. The league could have, and should have, cancelled the game, but in the FPHL, the gongshow must go on, it would seem.

Would seem to be the Mississippi at Carolina game on Friday - Stats - Federal Prospects Hockey League. Mississippi roster for the game listed as 9 skaters and 2 goalies.

The 700+ mile, 10 1/2 hour trip from Biloxi to Winston-Salem for a one-game trip to begin with, especially the day before Christmas Eve, is a totally different discussion.

Mississippi came out on fire after the 2nd intermission. But then they lost focus when the bench convo turned to who had money for gas to get them back to Biloxi for Christmas.
