Following the 2003-04 season, the WHA2 teams jumped ship to the new Southern Professional Hockey League. The Manatees were given permission to suspend operations for the season and attempt to relocate to a new venue, whether in the Miami area or somewhere else. After failing to find another suitable arena, the franchise folded, and there has not been minor league hockey in Miami since.
