Bulls Return
While professional hockey in Birmingham went on hiatus for a while, a new iteration of the Bulls was born in 2017. In just their second season, the Bulls advanced to the SPHL championship series, led by the league’s MVP Josh Harris, goaltender of the year Mavric Parks, and coach of the year Jamey Hicks. While the team lost to their rival, the Huntsville Havoc, they built a new foundation for hockey in the Birmingham area.
