The 2009–10 Southern Professional Hockey League season was the sixth season of the Southern Professional Hockey League. The season began October 22, 2009, and ended April 17, 2010, after a 56-game regular season and a six-team playoff. The Huntsville Havoc captured their first SPHL championship.

Preseason

The Richmond Renegades[2] and Twin City Cyclones[3] franchises folded during the off-season. The Louisiana IceGators,[4] Mississippi Surge,[5] and Pensacola Ice Flyers[6] joined the league, after each of those markets had recently lost an ECHL team.
