7...5...3...1...

The SCRHA was happy to conclude their 7th and final season as the SCRHA, prior to next years merger with the ACRHA.  Throughout the event we saw some very significant things happen.  The University of Central Florida won it's 5th title in 7 years, as well as their 3rd in a row!  Congratulations to the Golden Knights.  The 1st ever Division II Regional Title was awarded to the University of Miami after surviving a tough contest with the Emory University Eagles.  The Hurricanes were fortunate as the Eagles hit the post 4 times during the contest which ended 6-5 in favor of Miami. 

 

The University of North Florida had it's first winning streak during DII Round Robin play with victories over Eckerd College and Embry Riddle.  We also were happy to see the resurgence of the Florida Gators.  The Gators led by outstanding goaltending by Benjamin Wiles were 1 goal shy of forcing a decisive game 2 in the Finals of DI.  The Gators stormed back from a second round loss to beat the South Florida Bulls and give the Golden Knights a scare by taking them into OT (4-4) and then falling just short in the Shootout 2-1.  The SCRHA is proud of the teams and hopes to see all these teams again in the fall.  For now UCF, Miami and some others are setting their sites on one more piece of hardware before calling it a season...the NCRHA National Championships will be hosted at OD's Sports Crossing in Fort Collins, CO April 13-17.  Good luck to all teams as they converge on the Mile High City!
