the golf course they’re messing around together but you’re the one you’re committed you’re in the in the wait room you’re in the on the ice in the middle of July and August when it’s so hot out you

lose game one of the finals they come back with a great effort again in game two win that one in OT come to Abbottzford lose the first two have a great showing in game five to force a game six back here in Charlotte but just like we had talked about this the word that goes with this Abbey Kuck team is resilient for the second time they go down two nothing in a game to start out and they battled back and there wasn’t any doubt in their eyes as Kako Kakos giving his final salute at center ice to the crowd an old teammate of mine had a great showing once again but just wasn’t able to make that one extra save that down at the other end archer She loves has been there all through this run to make that extra one and they’re Calder Cup champions so the Conucks now having all sorts of staff on the ice manny Motra had a long embrace with Jordy Canary who’s done such a great job with this Checkers team ryan Johnson on the ice getting long hugs what a job Ryan has done he’s been the GM of the of the Vancouver Conucks affiliate going back to the Udica days in 2017 and he built an absolute wagon this year manny Malhotra in his first year is a Calder Cup champion is that good i think that’s pretty good and as we’ve talked about the players so much the amount of time and effort that the coaching staff trainers all of them have to put in but the tone is set from your head coach and this team picked the right guy to lead them this year he works so well with the players clearly has an unbelievable relationship with them again for me Brandon you’ve been here all season and getting to see it me for this Calder Cup final watching him interact with his players see how much not just how much he loves and enjoys working with them it’s same going back the other way everyone lining up to give an extra hug ah it’s just the best brandon are you thirsty i’m thirsty i’m a lot of things right now okay well we’re going to we’re going to quench our thirst later but we’re not going anywhere folks we are going to break down this entire celebration so if you want to go to the fridge right now and get a adult beverage of your own to celebrate i mean why not this is going to be a long celebration into the night as the Calder Cup is about to make its way to center ice i I got to say it again the Abbottsburg Conucks are Calder Cup champs the Abbottsburg Canucks are Calder Cup champs something that’s never can be taken away from you again and not only that but it absolutely ties you to the players that you’re out there with that you’ve been working with all this season there’ll be the all the reunions all the times that you end up randomly running into one of those teammates and all those memories come flashing back to you oh it’s just it’s the absolute best and it’s what makes hockey in the NHL AHL playoffs the absolute best landon’s a Calder Cup champion and you can tell he’s getting emotional you’ve been there done that you know the struggle you know the pain you know what it takes to be a champion in this league it is so hard the ups the downs the grind the playoff format is not easy and the Canucks are the last team standing it’s again it’s I I just keep saying it’s the absolute best as I was just talking about all those memories flashing back it’s exactly what’s happening right now i’m thinking of my team in 2013 and it again it just I know what these guys are going through and and the excitement the jubilation that you’re feeling and oh it’s only just getting started for them as the Calder Cup makes its way to center ice there it is and she’s beautiful and I’m just looking at a guy like Sammy Bl who’s won a Stanley Cup in a game seven he was just hunched over he’s he looks like he’s in disbelief on the ice because you never know when if you’re ever going to have a chance to win a championship again sammy Blade that was in 2019 he’s been through so much since then a couple knee surgeries having to battle back through multiple rehabs and while he’s just added another championship to his belt so they’ll do the playoff MVP first and I think I have a good idea who might win it i don’t want to throw any guesses out there but Scott Hen the AHL commissioner coming on the ice to award the Calder Cup playoff MVP i got a feeling there might be a certain party happening when this award gets announced that’s all I might say hello Charlotte i would like to first of all say congratulations to the Charlotte Checkers they ripped through the Eastern Conference with a 10-2 record they were relentless and they were a worthy opponent in these Calder Cup finals thank you to our fans we had great support throughout the Calder Cup playoffs and particularly here in Charlotte and Abbottzford we had record-breaking crowds thank you with me at center ice is our vice president hockey operations Haley Moore who will hand out the Jack Butterfield trophy that goes to the MVP of the Calder Cup playoffs there were so many great performances on this team right here but one player stood out he was the backbone of the hockey club he finished with a 16-7 record he played every game this year’s winner of the Jack Butterfield trophy as the playoff MBT is Arur’s Sheiloffs [Applause] [Applause] i would like to say congratulations to the Vancouver Conucks organization to Franchesco Aalini and the Akalini family to Jim Rutherford Patrick Alvine and most particularly to Ryan Johnson and Manny Malhotra your approach your commitment and your focus translated to these players it was a masterclass in leadership congratulations now to the

to that assist that he had a couple games ago out of the left hand corner spots a player all the way up the ice making a beautiful stretch pass sammy Blaze still hearing booze he says “I can’t hear you i got another ring.” What a playoff for Sammy BlΓ© got the scoring started tonight and he’s now got another ring coming towards Alita as Carlson the all-time leader in goals and points and he fittingly gets the game winner to take home the Calder Cup with his second period marker and now here comes Arthur Sheils the playoff MVP gets his turn with the trophy he’s a legend back in Lafia and

  1. Sitting here in Costa Rica listening for the full playoff series on the radio. At 70 years old it was worthwhile to listen and see this video tonight. Thanks.
    Listened to many games while driving for Coast Mountain Bus at night, for 17 years. What an amazing run and how they fought to the very end to win it all. πŸ‘πŸ‘

  2. Well deserved! Very proud of these boys. I've been going to games regularly since they moved to Abby, and I hope this will solidify the fanbase, and make more of the non weekend games more well attended. This team deserves a good home crowd.

  3. I believe that the entire team eventually will be BC Sports Hall Of Fame inductees. Way to go Abbotsford! I used to live blocks away from Abbotsford Center. Gosh darn, if only I was still living there. Definitely I would have enjoyed watching the crowds from my condo balcony. Only one caveat that left me defeated, Often I had to fight through traffic when I was behind the wheel whenever an event took place just to get back to my parking space. I was pissed off when the parade for that fallen officer from Abby's finest took place and I had to park my car several blocks away. I just got off a long shift but I regained my cool and watched the procession make it's way to the arena.

  4. I’ve been a fan of the Canucks for 20plus years and instantly became an Abby Canucks fan when they relocated to Abby from Utica in 2021. I never once thought I’d be able to witness in my life time, a Canucks team hoisting a championship cup. all the pain, all the heart breaks and all the suffering from 2011. It’s an amazing feeling seeing the Canucks name go down in history as winning their first ever franchise championship cup after 55 years of hardship of the organization. I am so relieved and my childhood is healed a bit more.

  5. Congratulationsβ€” great team! The key is it’s not the strongest team that wins. It’s the one that wants it just a little bit more than an extra keep on believing. Nice to see the Vancouver Canucks farm team beat the Florida Panthers farm team. Both teams played with Class and respect for each other other far better than the NHL well done the AHL has really done well.

  6. Crack out the champagne and beers!πŸ’₯πŸ’«β€πŸ’― Hope this vibe carries on to the Big League group and training camp!!! Cheers Flohockey for the limited coverage!

  7. Shout-out to Brandon Astle and Landon Ferraro β€” stellar job in the booth!
    Have to admit, I wondered if Landon might’ve gotten a media pass thanks to his old man, but credit to him did a great job, loved his passon.

  8. Coming from a checkers fan – yall played a hell of a series. yall deserve that win more than we did for sure. Great job boys and can't wait to see your organization grow.

  9. Guess what, we have 2 Canadian -based minor league champions for the 2025 season, the Calder Cup Champions, AHL Abbotsford Canucks and the Kelly Cup Champions, ECHL Trois Riviere Lions!
