Hockey is coming to the First Coast.

The Jax IceMen will begin play at Veterans Memorial Arena, as a member franchise of the ECHL, in October.

"Jacksonville is an excellent geographic fit for our South Division," Brian McKenna, the ECHL commissioner, said through a statement. "This is a great sports town and the Veterans Memorial Arena a terrific facility to showcase ECHL hockey."

Previously, Jacksonville hosted an ECHL franchise for five seasons as the Lizard Kings.
