Columbus Burn

The Columbus Burn were a proposed hockey team that would have been based out of the Columbus Civic Center in Columbus, Georgia.  The investor in the team , Fidel Jenkins, had been trying to get a team to replace the previous Columbus Cottonmouths of the Southern Professional Hockey League, who played in the arena from 2004 to 2017. 
As of August 10, 2017 the SPHL announced it was no longer interested in working on adding the team to the league in a vote to terminate working with the team owner who had apparently mised a payment to the league on an expansion fee and then tried to re-negotiate the fee. 
Jenkins was going to contact the ECHL while the SPHL was going to open the market to other investors interested in having a team.
