Prior to the
2001–02 ECHL season, the
Tallahassee Tiger Sharks were moved by their owners,
Elmore Sports Group, from
Tallahassee, Florida to Macon, Georgia to begin play as the Macon Whoopee. Coached by former
NHL defenceman
Gord Dineen, the team compiled a record of 29 wins, 31 losses, and 12 ties to finish out of the playoffs in their only season of play in Macon. Following the 2001–02 season, the franchise was relocated to
Lexington, Kentucky to play as the
Lexington Men O' War. ==References==
