Schaafsma Hoists ECHL Title

Blenheim’s Jamie Schaafsma hoisted the Kelly Cup Sunday, after his Allen Americans defeated the South Carolina Stingrays 6-1 in game seven of the ECHL final.

Schaafsma, who captains the Allen Americans, had two assists in the win.

In total, Schaafsma had 5 goals and 11 assists for 16 points in 25 playoff games.

This was Allen’s first season in the ECHL after the team was promoted from the Central Hockey League last season.

It is Schaafsma’s, and Allen’s third straight title as the Americans had won the past two CHL championships. Last season, Schaafsma was named the playoff MVP following Allen’s victory.
