A Modern Identity Honors a Storied Past
The Mobile Mysticks, a professional ice‑hockey franchise with roots stretching back to 1995, have made a high‑profile return to the ice.
On June 16, the team unveiled its refreshed branding at the Mobile Convention Center, drawing a crowd of supporters who turned out in Mysticks apparel.
Fans expressed excitement, many sporting vintage jerseys as they gathered to see the new look.
The organization announced that it will compete in the Southern Professional Hockey League (SPHL) during the 2027‑2028 season, scheduling 30 home games at the newly built Regions Arena.
The league, whose official site is sphl.com, will be the Mysticks’ battleground, marking a strategic partnership that aligns with the team’s revival plan.
The franchise’s name pays tribute to Mobile’s historic mystic societies, the social clubs that have long organized Carnival celebrations in the city.
Ownership has changed hands as well; Zawyer Sports & Entertainment, listed on oakviewgroup.com, now holds the reins, bringing fresh investment and vision.
Peter Luukko, Andy Kaufmann and Spiro Cheriogotis, key figures in the team’s resurgence, were present at the unveiling ceremony.
