For the
first time in the team’s history, the Reading Royals won the Kelly Cup last
night in Stockton, California against the Stockton Thunder. This was the first
Kelly Cup finals series played in California as well.
Reading took
control of the game with a goal in the First Period and continued to score,
making the total 6-0 against the Thunder.
The Royals
won the final series against Stockton 3 games to 1, Stockton winning the third
game.
The team
under Coach Larry Courville, started the year out slow and not with the best
record, but with perseverance, battled through to the playoffs and made it
successfully to the end.
Stockton had
a similar story, except they managed to come from behind in most of their
playoff games, thus earning the nickname “Comeback Kids”. But Reading was too
much even for them, and the Pennsylvania crew will have a parade in Downtown
Reading Wednesday evening at 6pm.
Royals’
Goalie Riley Gill gets Kelly Cup Playoff MVP of 2013. He had two shutouts in
the finals and four shutouts in total; he’s tied for second most in league
history.
Both fan bases should feel proud of their team's performances. They are what hockey is all
about!
