On Sunday, October 19, the SPHL saw a flurry of transactions as teams prepared for the upcoming season. The Huntsville Havoc made a notable move by acquiring forward Tyler McNeely from the Peoria Rivermen. McNeely, a proven scorer, is expected to bring additional firepower to the Havoc's lineup.

In other transactions, the Fayetteville Marksmen signed defenseman Ryan McDonald, enhancing their blue line ahead of the season opener. McDonald has a reputation for being tough in his own zone, and his presence should provide added security for Fayetteville's goalies.

The Birmingham Bulls also made headlines by releasing veteran goaltender Josh Harris. The decision came as a surprise, given Harris's experience and leadership qualities. However, the Bulls are looking to shift their focus toward younger talent as they reconstruct their roster.

Overall, the SPHL's roster adjustments are sure to create excitement among fans, as teams look to solidify their lineups and make a strong impression in the league. Fans can look forward to seeing how these changes unfold as the season progresses.
