Hockey in June can you beat it?  Going to games in shorts and tee shirts. The smell of Coppertone wafting through the arena and many in the stands complaining of missing games to graduations and weddings.  The ever present whine on the remaining teams websites that "they was robbed" and how long their off season will be.  Hockey in June for the lucky few fans there is nothing like it, playoffs, your team has made it to the sweet air of the finals. Whether it be Memorial, Turner,Calder or Stanley everyone close enough to smell the ice is dreaming of silver at night.

Here are few images of that championship series that brought that lovely cup home to Chicago for the second time in club history.  On the 18th fans will see the Championship banner raised, win or loose that will make it a memorable night.

Pay back for a boarding earlier in the game one. Still Colin Stuart should have kept his stick out of that tender place. / By Jane Rickard/Powderhornhockey

It takes no small amount of courage to cheer your team on when on the road. No one on the ice did more to help his team than this fan. / By Jane Rickard/Powderhornhockey
