The game between
Johnstown and

Wheeling is a rematch of Game 7 from the
first-ever ECHL Finals. Played on Apr. 12, 1989 in front of a
standing-room-only crowd at Cambria County War Memorial, the Carolina
Thunderbirds defeated the Johnstown Chiefs 7-4 to win the Riley Cup, which was
presented to the ECHL champion from 1989-96. The membership relocated to

Wheeling,
W.Va.
prior to the 1992-93 season, and after four seasons as the Thunderbirds became
the Nailers in 1996-97.

B2 Networks has broadcast ECHL games the past four seasons, including the 2007
ECHL All-Star Game as well as every game of the conference finals and the Kelly
Cup Finals each of the past four years. The first hockey game ever broadcast by
B2 Networks was the Las Vegas Wranglers in February 2004 and the first hockey
championship broadcast by B2 Networks was the 2004 Kelly Cup Playoffs.
