To start the playoffs, South Carolina will battle the Kalamazoo Wings in the quarterfinals, as the Stingrays look to return to the Kelly Cup Finals, where they lost in seven games last season.
THE TEAMS
South Carolina: bolstered by some late season additions, the Stingrays displaced the Florida Everblades for the South Division Championship in the last few weeks of the season. None of the Rays played all 72 games this season.
David Pacan will be a consistent scoring threat; he ended the regular season with 20 goals and 42 assists. However, keep an eye out for the AHL loaners like Derek DeBlois and Caleb Herbert.
