Exactly ten seasons since their previous ECHL title, the Florida Everblades—Nashville’s AA affiliate—captured their second championship last night, defeating the Toledo Walleye four games to one.
Florida took their second straight South Division title, finishing the regular season with a 42-20-10 record. The Everblades dispatched the Greenville Swamp Rabbits in a 4-2 series in round one, swept the Jacksonville Icemen in round two, and beat the Newfoundland Growlers four games to one in the conference final.
In the regular season, Blake Winiecki and John McCarron (brother of Nashville’s Michael) led the team in scoring with 70 points in each.
