Hockey in Alabama?

[Unregistered]

I was wondering if it is true that Birmingham, Alabama is going to get a new hockey team. If this true can anyone tell me which league they will be playing in and when they will start playing. Any information will greatly appreciated.

Starving for hockey in 'Bama!!!!!!!!!!!!

Last time Birmingham had a team it was in the ECHL. Now it is going to be in the WHA. Mobile also had a team in the ECHL, but it moved to Gwinette GA.

Birmingham will have a franchise in the ACHL, playing in the same rink the Bulls used to (www.achl2.com), WHA2 will be in the outskirts of (Pelham county?) (www.wha2.com). ACHL will also be in Huntsville (w/ the NCAA team)
