MACON, Ga. – The Macon Mayhem welcomed their largest crowd to “Pack the Plex” night when they took on the Birmingham Bulls on February 5, 2023. This makeup game was scheduled when poor ice conditions caused the Mayhem to postpone the December 17 contest. The Macon faithful that showed up on a Sunday afternoon were part of the largest crowd for the Mayhem this season.
The Birmingham Bulls were looking for revenge after losing the last match with the Mayhem. The Bulls netted the only goal in the opening frame but the Mayhem tied the game before the end of the second. Birmingham and Macon swapped goals in the third period to end regulation tied 3 to 3. An extra 5 minutes of hockey was not enough time to determine the winner as the game would go into a best of 5 shootout. In his first game as a Mayhem, net minder Michael Bullion stopped all of Birmingham’s shootout attempts. Macon’s Jake Goldowski and Rhett Kingston both scored in the shootout to give Macon the win with a final score of 4 to 3.
