The Coachella Valley Firebirds battled past regulation against the Hershey Bears in a fiery Game 7 of the Calder Cup Finals, in front of a sold out crowd.
But 60 minutes just weren’t enough for the last two teams standing and with less than four minutes the Bears would find some hope and net the final goal of the season. The Firebirds would come up just one goal short of holding up the Calder Cup.
🚨 A tough OT loss for our @Firebirds
The guys left their heart out on the ice and have made the Coachella Valley so proud.
Incredible season, incredible run by and incredible group of guys 👏🏽@TheAHL @takesbytal @timobrientv pic.twitter.com/lzYO0OjfhK
