Athens Professional Hockey, a member of the Federal Prospects Hockey League (FPHL), announced its new team name — the Rock Lobsters — on Wednesday.
This vibrant name was chosen after a comprehensive community vote, collaborating inspiration of designs from local artists, and an emerging partnership with the legendary band, The B-52s.
