2023-24 FPHL Season Thread

[The Hobgoblin]

Kid, I was around when the Indianapolis Ice beat the Cottonmouths back in 2000 for the Miron Cup. I've been around the block. I know when someone is upset.

Kid...when I started watching hockey in 1980. Lol ok guy.

Moving forward ... Binghamton defeated Carolina in Winston-Salem on Friday night to take a 1-0 Finals lead. Game recaps from each side of the faceoff dot are ready to read HERE. Game 2 set for Saturday night (5/4) in North Carolina @ 7:35 PM EDT. FPHL Live! will stream the contest.

How many times did the Carolina goalie remove his helmet?

Binghamton Bears just won the 2nd game against Carolina. One more win and they win the Cup.

And I have to add...I'm glad the Carolina team is good and has good fans. Every minor league team needs good fans and support. I've seen enough local hockey teams go kaput because they couldn't generate interest. Glad Carolina is doing well.

Catchin' up on some paperwork, with Binghamton sittin' on a 2-0 Commissioners Cup Finals series lead over Carolina ... FPHL FINALS GAME 2 RECAPS

The End (in six words or less) ... BINGHAMTON BLACK BEARS, COMMISSIONERS CUP CHAMPIONS

 

[CHIP72]

Binghamton sweeps through the playoffs, winning each of its 7 playoff games (though their games against Motor City and Carolina were close).

Bingo actually had an overcapacity crowd (5011 fans) for their Game 3 Commissioner's Cup clincher.
