The Wichita Thunder are off to the playoffs and in pursuit of the Kelly Cup and that begins tonight.

While the ECHL team lives on, the Condors have finished up. With all the call-ups, signings and moves, there have been a lot of alternating parts. Marody and Vesel showed some early chemistry (see Vesel highlight below) along with Tyler Benson looking good in his short stint. Exciting times for next year there.

Stuart Skinner and his Swfit Current Broncos are heading into the game 7 of round 2 in the WHL playoffs.

Filip Berglund and his club, Skelleftea are in the finals of the SHL.
