In a busy day of transactions on November 18, several players found new opportunities in the Southern Professional Hockey League (SPHL). Notably, forward Jake McLeod has signed with the Peoria Rivermen, bringing his scoring prowess from last season's playoffs to the team. McLeod's addition is expected to boost the Rivermen's offensive lineup as they aim for a strong start this season.

Additionally, defenseman Ryan Thompson has been acquired by the Huntsville Havoc after a successful stint with the Mississippi RiverKings. With his solid defensive skills and leadership qualities, Thompson is anticipated to be a key asset in strengthening the Havoc's backline as they prepare for their upcoming games.

Meanwhile, the Knoxville Ice Bears have announced the signing of veteran goaltender Marcus Reid, who previously played for the Fayetteville Marksmen. Reid's experience and shot-stopping ability will enhance the Ice Bears' goaltending rotation, ensuring they have a reliable option between the pipes as they challenge for playoff positioning.

These recent signings highlight the SPHL's dynamic player movement and the ongoing efforts of teams to build competitive rosters. As the season progresses, fans will be eager to see how these new acquisitions perform on the ice and contribute to their respective teams’ successes.
