Six former Ontario Junior Hockey League players are 2024 ECHL champions.
A goal at 3:38 of overtime finished off a furious rally from a 3-1 third-period deficit to lead the Florida Everblades to a 4-3 victory over the Kansas City Mavericks in Game 5 of the Kelly Cup Finals Friday in Estero, FLA.
The Everblades closed out the series four games to one, and became the first team in the ECHL’s 36-year history to win three straight Kelly Cups and four ECHL championships overall.
The OJHL alumni hoisting the trophy as part of the Florida roster included:
- Zach Uens (Wellington Dukes)
- Will Reilly (North York Rangers)
- Dustyn McFaul (Pickering Panthers)
- Kyle Neuber (St. Michael’s Buzzers)
- Jordan Sambrook (Aurora Tigers)
- Nathan Staios (Oakville Blades)
A Hertz Arena record crowd of 7,910, the 18th sellout of the season, attended.
