The Florida Everblades advance to the South Division Final. But looking back at the series with the Jacksonville Icemen, and the Florida Everblades showed why they are back-to-back reigning Kelly Cup Champions.

The defense toughened up over the final 3 games of the series allowing just 2 shot to get past Cam Johnson in total. Game 7 was an absolute masterclass of goal tending by Cam Johnson.
