History
Logos

The first team, known as the Whoopees, played in the Southern Hockey League in 1973. Despite a brief flash of national publicity due to the unusual nickname (NBC aired their scores and highlights on its NHL Game Of The Week), poor attendance led the team to disband in mid-season.

Hockey was not resurrected in Macon until 1996. A new team, known as the Whoopee (without the plural "s") played in the Central Hockey League from 1996 to 2001. In the 2001-2002 East Coast Hockey League season, Tallahassee Tiger Sharks were relocated to Macon Georgia and renamed the Whooppee. After several owners endured seasons of poor attendance and monetary losses, the team finally went under in 2002, and was moved to Lexington Kentucky,where the franchise was renamed the Men O' War.

The name 'Whoopee' was a reference to a sexual slang, popularized by the Gus Kahn-penned tune "Makin' Whoopee" and the TV game show The Newlywed Game
