[Deleted]

Thought I'd give a brief report on the guys in the four-letter league.

Tonight the Eagles play their last game of their first season in the ECHL as they visit Las Vegas (Independent) on the last day of the season. They already know that they will be facing the Stockton Thunder (EDM/SJ) in the first round of the playoffs.

Here's the bracket.

EASTERN CONFERENCE

(1) Elmira Jackals vs (8) Reading Royals

(2) Gwinett Gladiators vs (7) South Carolina Stingrays

(3) Kalamazoo Wings vs (6) Wheeling Nailers
INTERESTING FACT - rematch of last year's Eastern Conference Finals, won by the K-Wings in 5.

(4) Greenville Road Warriors vs (5) Florida Everblades

WESTERN CONFERENCE

(1) Alaska Aces - First Round Bye

(2) Ontario Reign vs (7) Idaho Steelheads
NOTE: Chris Carrozzi, though a Jets prospect, is on loan to the Reign despite currently being up with the IceCaps

(3) Las Vegas Wranglers vs (6) Utah Grizzlies

(4) COLORADO EAGLES vs (5) STOCKTON THUNDER

Eagles have home ice and here are some stats:

LEADING GOAL SCORER: Chad Costello, 29
LEADING POINTSCORER: Chad Costello, 76
LEADING GOALIE: Kyle Jones (3.21 GAA, 31-15-4, .897 SV%)

And Costello did that in just 47 games, due to loan to the Worcester Sharks.

HAHA How Stockton has a hockey team is beyond me. I used to live in the East Bay area and stockton is one of the worst cities (high crime / homicide rate) in all of america. Seriously, it's so ghetto.

Reading isn't much better, and they have the Royals....IIRC the Thunder draw fairly well, too.
