About Knoxville Ice Bears

Knoxville Ice Bears at Knoxville Civic Coliseum

The Knoxville Ice Bears hit the ice for another exciting season in the Southern Professional Hockey League. The Knoxville Ice Bears play out of the General James White Memorial Civic Auditorium and Coliseum (usually shortened to Knoxville Civic Coliseum), which opened in 1961 and has a capacity of 5,937. Coach Jeff Carr replaced Mike Craigen before the beginning of the 2017-18 season. The Ice Bears are one of five teams playing in the SPHL, including the Birmingham Bulls, the Huntsville Havoc, the Macon Mayhem and the Pensacola Ice Flyers.

History of the Knoxville Ice Bears

The Marble City has had a decades-long love affair with hockey, with the Knoxville Knights playing in the Eastern Hockey League from 1961 to 1968, and the Knoxville Cherokees of the East Coast Hockey League from 1988 to 1997. Mike Murray was the Cherokees’ all-time leader in points, goals and assists before becoming the Ice Bears’ general manager in 2006. The Knoxville Speed of the United Hockey League played from 1999 until 2002, after which the Ice Bears were founded as a charter member of the Atlantic Coast Hockey League. After one season, the ACHL split into the SEHL (of which the Ice Bears were a member) and WHA 2, with the surviving teams from each league rejoining for the 2004-05 season as the Southern Professional Hockey League.

The Knoxville Ice Bears have been the most successful franchise by far in the SPHL, winning President’s Cup championships in 2006, 2008, 2009 and 2015, and William B. Coffey trophies as the team with the best regular-season record in 2005, 2006, 2008 and 2009. UFC fighter Scott “Hot Sauce” Holtzman, who hails from Knoxville, played two games with the Ice Bears in the 2007-08 season, before pursuing a career in mixed martial arts.

  • Fun night

    by Melnel on 12/2/25Knoxville Civic Coliseum - KnoxvilleRating: 5 out of 5

    I took my teenage daughter and her friend, not sure what they'd think. They loved it, kept their attention the entire time. Great activities for intermission. Guy running the jumbotron does a good job. I go everytime I get a chance and always have a good time.

  • New To The Game

    This was the 1st time our 11-year old has been to a hockey game at any level and he really enjoyed it. There doesn't seem to be any "bad"seats in the place and the experience was family friendly.

  • Fun night without a lot of cost

    This was our first hockey game we had ever attended. What a fun, interactive, entertaining evening. After the tickets, we did not need to purchase anything else. The seats were of a decent size. My only issue is no railings to go up and down steps. As a “more mature” person, I rely on railings for support when I need to use steps. But this is an arena issue, not an ice bears issue.

  • Always a Fun, Family-Friendly Time

    by JellBell81 on 10/13/25Knoxville Civic Coliseum - KnoxvilleRating: 5 out of 5

    We enjoy attending Knoxville Ice Bears games several times per year. Anytime we have gone, it has always been a fun and affordable way to do something together as a family. I purchase and download our tickets and parking passes ahead of time and download them to my Google Wallet to make checking in quicker, and have never had an issue. The only major problem we have with this venue is it that is difficult for my husband to attend. He is on the larger side and there are very few seating options available for larger people unless you have purchased special seating, which I am assuming is through the Bears membership. It would be great to see more options for larger than average people who cannot fit in the standard seats.

  • Great game, awesome atmosphere!
