Augusta’s new hockey team buzzes before logo, name reveal
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WJBF)- Augusta’s new pro-hockey team is preparing to unveil its logo and name. The hockey team is working to build a strong fan base across the CSRA before it even hits the ice. Supporters say it will be fun and a place for family and friends to come together.
Locals in Augusta have had the opportunity to participate in choosing the teams logo and name for their upcoming season. This gave the community an opportunity to be a part of something that will grow to be huge here in the city.
“This is Augusta’s team, and we want to make an impact on the ice and off the ice in the community. But really have a place where people can come for great, affordable fun, and then we can do great things off the ice as well to positively impact the community. “, says David Hodges, Co-Owner of the Augusta Pro Hockey Team.
Having the new sports team present the name and logo unveil has almost made a sold-out event. With 2,100 plus seats being RSVP’d prior to the start of the event.
The new team will not take the ice until the 2027-2028 season, but excitement is already high.

AUGUSTA, Ga. (WJBF) – An Augusta man has been sentenced to nearly 6 years in federal prison on an illegal firearm charge, according to the United States Department of Justice on Wednesday.
Chauncey Lavon Feby, 20, was sentenced to 71 months in prison and a $1,500 fine, followed by three years of supervised release after pleading guilty to Illegal Possession of a Machinegun.
In November 2024 in Richmond County, Feby was reportedly found with a Glock Model 45, 9 mm pistol which had been modified with an auto sear, converting the pistol into a fully automatic machinegun.
“We will continue to support our law enforcement partners in their efforts to remove these dangerous weapons from the streets and to keep our communities safe,” said U.S. Attorney Margaret Heap. “The U.S. Attorney’s Office remains committed to hold accountable those that unlawfully possess these lethal weapons.”
