Front Office

Chuck Norris, Owner and CEO of the Mayhem and the SPHL’s Fayetteville Marksmen, is a U.S. Army veteran.

Born and raised in the suburbs of Detroit, Michigan, Norris is a lifelong hockey and Detroit Red Wings fan.

After retiring from a 20+ year career in commercial and residential land development and construction, Norris acquired the Fayetteville franchise in 2016-17, and has been raising the standard of hockey entertainment ever since. After acquiring ownership stake of the Mayhem in 2024, Norris has been committed to raising the bar for hockey in Macon.

Under Norris, the Fayetteville franchise has seen growth every season in attendance and success on the ice.

Chuck lives in Charlotte with his wife, Lanai (Mayhem CFO) and their three children, Chucky, Lilly, and Khloe.

As the Chief Financial Officer, Lanai oversees the financial aspects of the Mayhem-including budget items, revenue, and payments for both the front office and hockey operations department.

Lanai lives in Charlotte with her husband, Chuck, and their three children, Chucky, Lilly, and Khloe.

The 2024-25 season will be Alex Wall’s tenth in minor league hockey, and first full season as Team President with the Mayhem.

Wall joined forces with Chuck Norris in 2020 with the Fayetteville (N.C.) Marksmen, where the pair have grown attendance over 300% and set various organization and league records. Wall oversees all day-to-day operations for both the Marksmen and Mayhem organizations, with a specific focus on revenue generation through ticket sales and corporate partnerships.

Prior to the Marksmen, Wall was responsible for cultivating business partnerships around some of the world’s most iconic live shows (Monster Jam, Disney on Ice, and more) with FELD Entertainment. Before that, he spent the better part of five seasons leading partnerships, activation, and marketing for two highly-successful ECHL franchises – the Orlando Solar Bears and Jacksonville Icemen (starting with the Icemen’s inaugural season in 2017).

A Tampa, Fla. native, Wall graduated from Stetson University (DeLand, Fla.), where he earned his Bachelor’s Degree in Sport Management and Marketing. Wall lives in Fayetteville with his wife Suzanne and their sons, Jacob and Matthew.
