By Jessica Higham | PPPShow.net Corespondent – The Pink Puck.com Dunkin Donuts Center, Providence, R.I. — Playoff hockey: it’s what every team works for and what every fan dreams of seeing. Of the 30 AHL teams, 16 compete to be the one team with the honors to call themselves the Calder Cup Champions. The playoffs are a fresh start for all the teams that qualify.

There is no better example of that than the game last night when the Providence Bruins hosted the Hershey Bears. The Bruins were the regular season … Continue reading →

By M. Richter | PPPShow.net Corespondent Portland, Maine - Friday was a night filled with relief and good news at the Portland Pirates game, at least for the home team.  Not only did the Pirates clinch their first playoff berth since 2008 with a 3-1 win over the visiting Bridgeport Sound Tigers, but the entire audience breathed a collective sigh of relief when the announcement was made that the final suspect in the Boston bombings had been apprehended. By an odd stroke of luck, the Pirates officially clinched their slot with 2:07 left in the third period, when the CT Whale’s loss to the Albany Devils was finalized.  While the news brought a welcome reprieve for the fans in the stands, the team didn’t let up, and … Continue reading →

There has been so much confusion this season with the announcement earlier in 2013 that the American Hockey League & National Hockey League was doing away with AHL Clear Day Rosters after the new CBA was formed.
