Robertson Cup Finals: Fairbanks vs. Austin

May 5, 2014
After two thrilling and competitive Semi-Final series, the NAHL Robertson Cup Finals are set as the Fairbanks Ice Dogs will host the Austin Bruins in a three-game series from May 9-11 to determine the NAHL’s National Champion.
 
The Ice Dogs, who won both the Midwest Division regular season and playoff titles, made quick work of the Michigan Warriors in their Semi-Final series with a 2-0 series sweep. The Ice Dogs allowed just one goal in the two wins. 
 
Meanwhile, the Bruins, who won both the Central Division regular season and playoff titles, had a tougher time in Topeka. After a Game 1 loss, the Bruins responded with a 6-4 win in Game 2 and a 4-3 overtime win in Game 3 to advance to the Finals.
 
This will be the Ice Dogs third appearance in the Championship. They lost to Bismarck in the Finals in 2010 and a year later won the Robertson Cup in 2011, beating Michigan in the finals. This is Austin’s first ever appearance.
 
The NAHL Robertson Cup Finals is a best of three series and begins at 7:30pm on Friday, May 9th with Game 1 at the Big Dipper Ice Arena in Fairbanks. Game 2 is set for the same time on Saturday, May 10th and if Game 3 is needed, it will be played at 5:00pm on Sunday, May 11th. All times are Alaskan standard time.
 
The Bruins and Ice Dogs split in a four-game series during the 2013-14 regular season, and three games were decided by one goal. Austin won 2-1 last Oct. 25 and 4-3 last Dec. 31 at the Riverside Arena in Austin. The Ice Dogs swept a series Feb. 14-15 at the Big Dipper, respectively winning 5-4 and 4-1.
