The Everblades and fans across Southwest Florida were the Kelly Cup Champions Monday evening, and fans and players alike came out to celebrate the first championship in a decade.

There was a lot of excitement and emotion in the building after the Everblades beat the Walleyes four to two on Saturday to win the Kelly Cup.

Although the season just ended, a player told WINK News they’re going to do it all again next season.

Christina Mackie, an Everblades fan, said, “The last couple of seconds when everyone just starts cheering gets louder and louder and everyone’s throwing stuff on the ice and you just know that we’re, you know, that we want. That was such a cool thing.”

Everblades defenseman Ben Masella said, “We were ready. Like, we weren’t gonna be denied that night. And I think every single guy played stepped up and played well, and I’m so proud of every single guy in that room.”
