The Raiders went into game seven on Sunday feeling fairly confident and ready to do-or-die.
The end result wasn’t what they wanted though.
“It’s a lot tougher when you get outworked or whatever but that wasn’t the case here,” said coach Bruce Codd. “I’m so proud of my guys — we threw everything we had at them (the Eclipse) and Marc Nano (Eclipse goalie) was there to answer everything we had.”
It was a game that lived up to expectations, and failed to meet others.
“It was a fantastic game for fans to watch, I think it had a lot of passion and intensity and both teams were obviously trying to lay it on the line with their backs against the wall,” said co-coach of the Eclipse, Dave Pym.

Congratulations to the Edmonton Eclipse, who defeated the Calgary Raiders in a long, hard-fought series that came to a close earlier tonight.
The coaching staff of the Edmonton Miners knew they were going to have an uphill battle this season.
Fifteen rookies is not something that many coaches care to tackle but the Miners are very happy with the way their season turned out, given their circumstances.
