Idaho clinches home-ice advantage.

Posted on March 27, 2010 by J.P. Hoornstra

The Idaho Steelheads clinched their first-ever Brabham
Cup championship on Friday by virtue of Kalamazoo’s overtime loss against
Wheeling.

The Brabham Cup is the trophy awarded annually to the ECHL team that
finishes with the most points in the regular season. The recipient is
guaranteed home-ice advantage throughout its participation in the Kelly
Cup
Playoffs.

The Steelheads are 46-16-5 and lead the ECHL with 97 points. Idaho has
secured a first-round bye in the Kelly Cup Playoffs, and will meet the
winner of the fourth-place and fifth-place matchup in the National
Conference Semifinals.

Should the Reign hook up with the Steelheads in the playoffs, it’s worth noting that the Reign won two of three games in their only Boise road trip this season.
