Had this idea post-pandemic, but decided to actually try to build something. I found ESPN and the usual event sites didn't quite do what I wanted for finding live sports to watch. I wanted something like Bandsintown for sports - just give me a location and tell me what's nearby.

With opening night on Friday, here's what's on it for the SPHL and around it:

SPHL: all 12 clubs and their 2026-27 schedules, Athens through Roanoke.

The hockey near your rink you might not know about: about 600 ACHA college club programs (men's D1-D3, women's D1-D2) are on it, and in SPHL country they're often the only other hockey around. Tennessee's club teams play at the Civic Coliseum, the same building as the Ice Bears. Virginia Tech's play at Lancerlot in Vinton, a few miles from the Berglund Center. Liberty, Georgia, Alabama, Bradley and Illinois State all have home games within 50 miles of an SPHL rink.

The rest of hockey: AHL, ECHL and FPHL; NAHL, USHL, WHL, OHL and QMJHL; NCAA D1 and D3 men's and women's hockey; the NHL (I know...) and the PWHL.

It's not just hockey, either: the same site covers baseball, soccer, basketball, football, volleyball, lacrosse and more, with about 2,000 colleges across every division - roughly 100,000 upcoming games in all. So on a night your team is on the road, you can see the college basketball or volleyball game across town too.

No accounts and no ads - just a hobby site.

Schedules come straight from the leagues' and teams' own published schedules and are re-checked every night, so postponements and time changes show up the next morning.

Every list is also a plain-text or JSON feed, e.g. all hockey within 30 miles of Knoxville for the next month: floodlit.us/api/feed?zip=37902&days=30&sports=Ice+Hockey&format=text (any zip, up to 30 days, radius up to 100 miles). Any list can be subscribed to as a calendar (.ics) so it lands in your phone's calendar app.

If your team or rink is missing or wrong, tell me in the comments. The club schedules in particular come from a mix of sources and I've been fixing things as I find them, but I'm sure some are still off.

Probably rough around the edges, but I'm trying to get feedback on whether this is useful at all.

Im a huge fan of the coverage on The Fed Flash's YouTube channel as it's a great way to get good content about the league and I like to listen to him on my drive into work.

Is there any good coverage channels for the SPHL?

Thanks.

Stead is a beast, a monster of a man even. It's great hockey didn't die here when the Icemen left. Let's go Bolts!

With news circulating about Baton Rouge and Biloxi folding, it’s time for the SPHL to position itself as the premier (and only) single A hockey league in the USA.

Topeka, Monroe, Columbus (GA), Pee Dee, and Athens should be in the the league. With planned Mobile expansion, it’ll bring the league to 16 teams.

I get it… vermillion county fiasco may be a deterrent, but if done the right way, can work!

Reporting yesterday came out via the Fed League Flash that Athens will be leaving the FPHL to join the SPHL. Athens is coming off a second year playoff shot and is looking for different competition. No official statement has been made by the Athens or SPHL offices regarding this yet. What are y'alls thoughts? Have you been to a game in Athens? Will they slot in well?

Any idea what player salary is in 2025-26?

Finally bit the bullet and got my dawgs merch before the game tonight. Go dawgs

I’ve understood for a while that most people crap all over Birmingham Bulls and make fun of the low-tier-ness of them and the arena (for the record, biased, but I love the arena and its size).

But it got me wondering what the wealthiest team(s) is/are. I have taken in a Havoc game and it is a whole ‘nother level compared to my Bulls, but what gives? BHam has the largest metro area of any team in the league (based on Wikipedia during a long car drive).

Just curious.

I’m a new season ticket owner this year, so I’m paying attention to more things now. So, if I am doing some math right…

If the Bulls win tonight (3/28), they clinch a playoff spot, right?

Or, if Macon and/or QC lose tonight, the Bulls also clinch, right?

Bulls are enough points ahead of Fayetteville, the fight is for 8th. So playing the points game, that’s where I’m at in my thinking, but need a sanity check.

Thanks.

Never seen an SPHL game but might see Peoria if they make it to the first weekend of May.

The SPHL site lists clinched spots, but are all the rest still in the running?
