It may have taken six years, but the city will be electric when the Thunderbolts take the ice for Game 1 of the SPHL Playoffs against the 2016-17 defending champions, Macon Mayhem!

“I think we match up well with them,” said Head Coach Jeff Pyle. “We’ve played hard against them all year and every game has been tight.” Coach went on to say, “It didn’t matter to us who it was".  “We were willing to play anybody at any time.  We have to beat everyone to win it, so we weren’t worried about anyone.”
