ESTERO, Fla. —
It was a hockey night in Southwest Florida, and not just any hockey night; it was the home opener for the Florida Everblades.
Hertz Arena was buzzing tonight as the Blades hosted the Orlando Solar Bears for their home opener.
The quest begins for a fourth Kelly cup in five years, but first, they had to worry about this one!
Orlando struck first with a goal in the second period, and the Everblades threatened to score at times, but they just couldn’t seem to find the back of the net. Lots of credit goes to Jon Gillies, who was stellar tonight.
The Everblades battled, but ultimately, the Solar Bears capitalized on breakaways, and they came away with the victory.
Everblades drop their home opener by a score of 3-1, but there’s not much reason to panic yet, hockey fans. It’s mid-October and there’s a whole lot of season left.
The Everblades host the Atlanta Gladiators next Friday night at 7:30 p.m.
