The Florida Everblades clinched a 'threepeat' by winning the Kelly Cup tournament in 2022, 2023 and 2024! On Saturday, June 8th it was a standing-room-only crowd with nearly 8,000 fans attending game five in the series. This year, the 'Blades were up against the Kansas City Mavericks and looked like they were having a tough time, behind in much of the first and second periods. Although shots on goal (SOG) were led by the Mavericks well into the third period, by the end of that period the 'Blades not only caught up but broke away and led SOG. With a little more than a minute left in the third period, the game was tied 3-3 and went into overtime.
Everblades Matthew Wedman made the game-winning goal three and a half minutes into OT and gave the 'Blades the Kelly Cup three times in a row, the first team in ECHL history to do so. The ‘Blades also won the Kelly Cup in 2012. They even got a shout-out from the Florida Panthers on June 10th while the Panthers were playing for the Stanley Cup.
Oliver Chau was given the June M. Kelly Playoff Most Valuable Player award scoring seven goals in the playoff series. Cam Johnson leads all ECHL netminders ever, with 12 wins in the Finals.
