    • A Trip Down Memory Lane - 10 Years Ago Today

It was 10 years ago today, June 14, 2015, Allen won its first Kelly Cup, in the Americans' first season in the ECHL. Here is what I wrote after that win 10 years ago.

     The ECHL season ended last night as Trois Riviéres beat Toledo 4-1 to win the Kelly Cup. The game was much closer than the final score. Toledo outshot the Lions 49-25, including 38-15 in the first two periods, but were stymied by the best defense and goalie in the playoffs. The score was 2-1 until the Lions scored two late empty net goals. Here is the recap from this morning's ECHL Stats pos...2025

     It seemed like it took forever for this season to come to an end once it was clear Allen was going to finish in last place in the ECHL. Now that the season is over the players will disperse quickly and this team will be gone. While some will return next season, some will retire, some will go to Europe and some will not be invited back, the team I wrote about almost every morning, talked ...2025
