The penultimate week of the ECHL regular season had just one job for the Orlando Solar Bears: Win, and you’re in. It may have taken four games to do it, but...mission accomplished. A 2-2 week has the Solar Bears on the verge of wrapping up both second place in the ECHL’s South Division and home ice for at least the first round of the Kelly Cup Playoffs.
Attempt #2 to clinch a playoff spot came on Wednesday night in Georgia, as the Solar Bears paid a visit to the Gladiators, a team in a fight for their playoff lives.
