The Alabama Slammers were a professional ice hockey team which was a member of the World Hockey Association 2 and played their home games at the Pelham Civic Complex. The Slammers, like the other five teams in the league, were purchased or founded by real estate mogul David Waronker in 2003. They were coached to a 34-26 record, second in the league, by former NHL center Garry Unger. They were defeated by the Macon Trax in the semifinal round of the WHA2 playoffs.
The league folded after one season. Half the remaining teams moved to the Southern Professional Hockey League, but the Slammers and two others folded.
